| Market Access Requirements for Electrical Household Appliances in Turkey and India With such an immense market, it has often proved challenging for the Indian government to supply effective surveillance to regulate electronic waste and hazardous substances. CE declaration of conformity is also mandatory for all gas appliances and all of the applicable tests need to be performed by authorized third party labs that have worldwide recognized authorization numbers. Turkey - Intensified market surveillance Turkish Customs officers have intensified checks of EEE imported to Turkey and are increasingly denying entry to products that are not accompanied by all the correct documentation. Firstly they limit the use of 20 substances in EEE for sale in India, and furthermore ban several substances, including some flame retardants, which presently have no viable alternatives. A further chapter was included on reducing the amount of hazardous substances used in EEE manufacturing. Consultations took place that resulted in the publication of the new E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2011; these rules entered into effect on May 1, 2012. The Turkish Industry Ministry has intensified its market surveillance and as of this year the ministry is randomly collecting Ethem to testing. The Turkish Government has intensified its efforts to assist local manufacturers through the provision of greater market surveillance and added support in achieving compliance with ecodesign norms and other EU legislations. Typically all consumer EEE destined for the Turkish market needs to be accompanied by its CE declaration of conformity, in addition to LVD and EMC test reports. SGS assists business by facilitating quick market access in India and Turkey, as well as on any other market worldwide.
