Anyone have experience with gaining CE certification for a product? Is it expensive?
I'm an avid rock climber, and if anyone shares the same hobby they might agree that climbing rope is damn expensive. (70m rope = $180 from brands like petzl, BD, etc). This amounts to $2.57/m
Through alibaba I've found suppliers of similar rope for $0.75/m. Some claim to have CE and UIAA certifications. I'm planning on reselling this rope in the USA.
How can these manufacturers prove they have these certifications? Will I be held liable if a rope breaks, injuring/killing someone and they come after me with a lawsuit?
What if I test the rope that is sent to me using CE and/or UIAA standards? This would require testing equipment, but I am open to purchasing it.
Tell me why I can't sell this rope, or else I just might try. Tell me like it is /biz/

as a climber, the fact that you are considering doing this is exactly why I tell people to never ever fucking buy any equipment from anyone except licensed manufacturers and also makes me sick
If i did this and even made $100,000, and a kid died because of my actions, it would haunt me for the rest of my life.

I don't see a problem. He clearly states that he wants to check the legitimacy of the claimed CE standards and/or get a CE certification for the item himself...
