Q
Hello Folks,
Got an interesting question today. I think I know the answer, but need some confirmation (or discent).
Scenario:
1) I can not put my CE mark on them as they were not manufactured under my quality system and not under my CE mark approval
2) the CE mark belongs to the product, not the company, and therefore the products that were manufactured at the acquired company were manufactured under a CE compliant system and the products are "approved" for sale as CE marked.
I like to use the wal-mart theory on this one... if Panasonic were to go out of business, wal-mart would not be required to pull the inventory they already purchased from Panasonic for sale... they would continue to sell until their inventory ran out. Same situation in my opinion.
Need some other thoughts on this one.
Thanks!
Got an interesting question today. I think I know the answer, but need some confirmation (or discent).
Scenario:
- Acquisition of a company with CE marked products
- No current CE mark with my company
- CE mark will be in place with my company before the end of the year
- Acquisition provided 5 months inventory for the shelves that we can sell until we are up and running in production and have our CE mark for that production.
- Do old company CE marked products need to be relabeled?
