The ESMA has notified all manufacturers and traders of regulated products that many certificates of conformity issued by the ESMA have expired. The ESMA conducts random market surveillance activities during which it is important to demonstrate valid certification in order to avoid penalties or legal actions. Manufacturers and traders are recommended to apply for a new certificate of conformity two months before the actual expiration date.
