EU and Global Product Compliance Seminar 2017

Element is hosting the second installment of its industry-leading seminar series on 20 September at Manchester City Football Club’s Etihad Stadium.

The EU and Global Product Compliance seminar is a free one-day training seminar that will focus on the critical aspects of design, testing, certification and global approvals needed to successfully run and manage any testing and compliance program. The event will cover important recent updates to key EU regulations including CE Marking, Wireless and Radio devices, Explosive Atmospheres and Medical Devices.
