CE Marking Workshop

Learn the Step-by-Step Process for Complying with Europe's CE Mark

Are you a manufacturer doing business internationally? Among the critical compliance standards of the U.S. there may be others to identify. The CE mark is a growing standard that may be costly for U.S. manufacturers, but will allow your organization to adhere to EU product safety regulations.

On August 27th, the Illinois SBDC International Trade Center at the Industrial Council of Nearwest Chicago (ICNC) will partner with the Center for International Regulatory Assistance (CITRA) at Duquesne University to present the day-long workshop at ICNC.
