EU Market Access & Operations for UAS - Online Technical Session

Join our experts in UAS testing, certification, and regulation, for insight on the latest  EU regulation on drones, including EU 2019/945, EU 2019/947, and related standards.

In this technical session, we will cover:

• how the current regulatory landscape affects manufacturers willing to sell in the EU and companies operating or preparing to launch drone operations in EU skies.  
• Testing, certification, and risk assessment requirements.
• The different milestones manufacturers will have to achieve until the UAS regulation is fully enforced and becomes mandatory.

A technological partner for the UAS industry

Applus+ Laboratories is a forerunner in UAS certification for EU Market Access. We were the first  EU Notified Body fully accredited to test and certify all types of UAS and its components. 

Thanks to our multi-technological capabilities and our footprint in Europe and China, we can provide all the testing services required to certify drones for the EU market, allowing manufacturers to identify their UAS with the corresponding Class Identification Label.
