Det kan være svært at forklare på engelsk, hvilke krav man som importør ønsker, at produkterne skal leve op til. For at hjælpe danske importører af elektrisk og elektronisk udstyr og komponenter hertil har Miljøstyrelsen udformet to tjeklister på engelsk, som du kan benytte, når du udformer ordrer til producenten.
