We explain in simple terms the abbreviations SASO, SABER, PCoC, SCoC, G-Mark, GSO, ECAS, and EQM that you may encounter when exporting to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf; which document is required at which border crossing; and where Turkish manufacturers should start.
The "I'll put CE on it based on my own declaration" logic you're used to in the EU doesn't work in the US. Instead of a single unified mark, the US employs different federal agencies (FCC, CPSC, FDA) depending on the product type, largely independent laboratory testing, and a strong layer of private law (Prop 65, product liability). This article explains the three main avenues—FCC, UL/NRTL, and CPSC—plus the FDA and Prop 65 in a simple and verified way.
The post-Brexit expectation that "every product will now require UKCA" largely did not materialize. The UK, through its 2024 regulation, continues to recognize the CE mark indefinitely for many product categories. This article explains when UKCA is truly required, which dates are binding, and what UK REACH means for exporters.
The EU has retired Directive 94/62/EC, which had been in effect for over thirty years: PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40), effective August 12, 2026, brings packaging under a single, binding framework from design to waste. Here is the scope, key obligations and critical deadlines.
The European Union has established a new framework regulating the entire product lifecycle, from durability to recyclability: the Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) and its most visible tool, the Digital Product Passport (DPP). We explain the scope, obligations, and verified timetable of this regulation, which concerns every manufacturer supplying products to the EU market – regardless of their place of manufacture.
The EU's Carbon Price Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which applies carbon pricing to carbon-intensive imports, entered its definitive phase on January 1, 2026. What changes are there for Turkish producers exporting iron and steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen? Which dates should they pay attention to, and how can they prepare?
The European Union is repealing the Machinery Directive 2006 (2006/42/EC), a cornerstone of machine safety. Its replacement, Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, will come into effect on January 20, 2027, and introduces entirely new obligations for machines with digital documentation, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. For Turkish manufacturers exporting machinery to the EU, this is a structural, not just a formal, change.
EPREL is the EU's mandatory central registration database for energy-labeled products ((EU) 2017/1369). We have summarized who needs to register, which products are covered, and what happens if registration is not completed.
