1 CEOC International Confederation of Inspection and Certification Organisations Meeting CEOC Int.-IFIA, 05 October 2010 Welcome at the CEOC premises!

2 CEOC in Brief (1/4) Founded in 1961 and involved in many aspects of the modern society: From toys, machinery, electro-technical products, medical devices, construction products, transport systems to power plants. Promotion of product quality and safety through independent inspection and certification of product manufacturing and operational processes 2

3 CEOC in Brief (2/4) 29 members from 19 countries in Europe Active in more than 100 countries around the world Employing more than 110,000 people, of which over 62,000 graduate engineers and technicians Members` revenues of > M 3

5 CEOC in Brief (4/4) WHAT WE DO We aim to promote safety and reduce accidents through independent conformity assessment. We represent the common interests of our sector, as well as those of our members, to the EU institutions and to all European or international organisations and associations dealing with directives, regulations, standards and accreditation. We keep our members informed of significant matters (with respect to the above), and establish CEOC International positions for them to follow. We aim to address concerns related to safety, quality and the environment. 5

6 CEOC Office in Brussels CEOC International s public affairs work is mainly defined by the Work Program of the EU institutions and by the interests of our members. Every year we select priority areas, which are of particular importance for CEOC International, and follow them closely. The priority areas of focus for 2014 are: the Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Industrial Renaissance in Europe Inclusion of the use phase (e.g. installations, maintenance) in the scope of Union harmonisation legislation? 6

9 Review of global safety and security issues Review of global safety and security issues related to the TIC, Auto, Workplace, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas sectors: TIC is a 100bn global market (Source: Bureau Veritas). The in-house and outsourced addressable market represents total revenue of over 70bn.

10 Review of global safety and security issues Review of global safety and security issues related to the TIC, Auto, Workplace, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas sectors: Market drivers for TICs are strong and include regulations and non-regulatory standards, globalisation, outsourcing, growing consumer awareness, changing features of products and assets, technological development, ageing industrial infrastructure and growing demand from emerging markets.. Source: Intertek, BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research Source: Mergers Alliance, BofA Merrill Lynch, Global Research

11 Review of global safety and security issues Review of global safety and security issues related to the TIC, Auto, Workplace, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas sectors: Motor vehicle collisions provoke 1.3 million deaths (2.2% of all deaths) and 50 million more injured every year (Source: WHO). The global passive and active safety market grew by 7% to a record of US$23bn in 2012.Governments will help the Automotive Safety System market to reach around US$27.3bn by 2015 and 40bn by 2020 (Source: TechNavio & The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). On the job or in the workplace, 2.3 million people are killed and 270 million injured every year (Source: ILO); Workplace OHS (occupational health and safety) costs employers US$171bn in the US (Source: US OHSA) and 20bn in the EU (source: European Agency for Safety and Health and Work). The market for personal and protective equipment (PPE), is estimated to become a US$30-33bn addressable market by 2015 (source: 3M) Source: Mergers Alliance, BofA Merrill Lynch, Global Research

12 Review of global safety and security issues Review of global safety and security issues related to the Auto, TIC, Workplace, Life Sciences, Oil & Gas sectors: Life Sciences & Diagnostic Tools is a US$80-85bn market which is estimated to organically grow at a rate of approximately 4% annually. Globalisation is driving the need for a healthier, cleaner and safer world with challenges encompassing the global food supply chain, food mislabelling, counterfeit drugs and toxic toys, declining water, soil and air quality, forensic backlogs, flu pandemics, hospital-acquired infections. Oil & Gas is inherently risky business, with a worker in the oil & gas industry seven times more vulnerable to death on the job than in other industries (Source: CDC NIOSH). A large proportion of O&G infrastructure is old, rusty and corroding and needs to be replaced, posing major safety risks. Source: Mergers Alliance, BofA Merrill Lynch, Global Research

13 Testing-Inspection-Certification Market 13

14 Testing-Inspection-Certification Market 14

15 The role of the TIC sector Increased globalisation of markets has triggered an inflow of unsafe products, originating mainly from developing countries. This has led to an increased political interest in and public concern about the safety of consumer products and industrial installations. In many fields this resulted in a growing demand for increased supervision and market surveillance by national governments and by local public authorities. The international TIC sector is going to have to respond to this challenge by offering state-of-the-art testing, inspection and certification services, so as to demonstrate its added value to society.

16 The role of the TIC sector supporting market surveillance activities Market surveillance is a very important and useful tool to take non-compliant products of the market. However most of the market surveillance authorities are under-staffed and have not enough financial resources to satisfyingly carry out this task. 99.7% of all products entering the EU market are not checked by market surveillance authorities. Through testing, inspection and certification services provided by TIC companies unsafe products are prevented from even entering the market. An IFIA market study also showed that the rejection rate for first-time submittals for not meeting safety requirements ranges from 27% (e.g. adapters, battery chargers) to 63% (white goods).

17 The role of the TIC sector facilitating international trade Every market has its different requirements and legal obligations. Especially for SMEs it can easily become difficult to have an up-to-date overview of all the their products have to fulfil. TIC companies, whose main task is to be always able to provide state-of-the-art testing, inspection and certification services, can help here with their competent and experienced staff. Through their world-wide presence, with own laboratories and staff, TIC companies can ensure the same high quality of their services, no matter where the manufacturers choose to produce their products. Additionally many of them offer to test, inspect and / or certify a product not only for one specific market but for several.

18 The role of the TIC sector conclusion The TIC sector already today makes valuable contributions to enhancing product safety and to facilitating international trade. This contribution is expected to become even more important and to grow in volume due to on-going globalisation and to growing middleclasses all around the world, especially in the BRICS countries and Asia. Global supply and distribution chains, the increase of internet sales and a society that expects products that are not only safe but also of high quality will increase the need for (market surveillance) authorities, manufacturers and the TIC service to work closely together.
