Greece, as a member of the European Union, follows the full body of EU product compliance legislation, including CE marking, REACH, RoHS, food safety directives, and energy labeling. National enforcement is carried out by Greek authorities in alignment with EU regulations.

Key Authorities:

• Hellenic Organization for Standardization (ELOT) – Develops and adopts Greek standards, often harmonized with European and international norms.

• General Secretariat for Industry (Ministry of Development) – Oversees market surveillance and implementation of EU directives on product safety and technical regulations.

• National Organization for Medicines (EOF) – Regulates pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, and dietary supplements.

• Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) – Manages type approval and regulation of telecom and radio devices.

• Hellenic Food Authority (EFET) – Ensures food product safety, hygiene, labeling, and compliance with EU food regulations.

• Hellenic Customs (AADE) – Verifies product conformity at the border and ensures documentation and import requirements are met.

  Key Compliance Elements:

• CE Marking: Mandatory for products under EU directives (e.g., toys, machinery, medical devices, electronics). Manufacturers must issue a Declaration of Conformity and retain a technical file.

• Labeling: Must be in Greek and include product name, instructions for use, safety warnings, origin, manufacturer/importer contact, and batch/serial information.

• Product Registration: Required for health-related products (pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, supplements, and medical devices). Registration is done through EOF and must include quality and safety data.

• Type Approval: Wireless and telecom products must comply with the EU Radio Equipment Directive and be registered with or notified to EETT.

• Environmental Compliance: Greece enforces EU rules on WEEE, RoHS, REACH, and eco-design requirements for regulated categories such as electronics, batteries, and packaging.
