INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATIONS

Manufacturers wishing to export outside the European community must ensure that their products comply with the standards and regulations of the reference markets.

Linguistic difficulties, lack of homogeneity, regulatory complexity and the scarce availability of information and adequate assistance, represent today the major obstacles to the take-off of this process.

ECO Next puts a deep knowledge of the requirements and regulations applicable in the main reference markets at the service of companies, so that any improvements can be made to the products to be placed on foreign markets right from the initial stages of their life cycle.

Manufacturers must have in-depth knowledge of the export rules, with particular reference to the technical standards, laws and certifications required in the various countries.
