The CE mark confirms that all applicable provisions are fulfilled with regard to conformity assessment within the scope of “New Approach” directives. The CE mark is a mandatory conformity mark for products placed on the market in the European Union. As a candidate country Turkey is obliged to achieve constitutional modifications in the quality infrastructure institutions to succeed European Union harmonization. The aim of this thesis is to research the harmonization problems in Turkish quality infrastructure system and analyze the challenges and complexities in legal approximation and implementation. Turkey has harmonization problems in standardization, conformity assessment and accreditation; proceed from inability of implementing operating methods and lack of specialized knowledge. These problems disorganize the quality infrastructure system and create disadvantage against Turkish manufacturer and consumer.
Quality control, European Union.
