CE MARKING

THE CONFORMITÈ EUROPËENNE MARKING

CE Marking where the letters "CE" are the Abbreviation of French Phrase "Conformité Européene" which means "European Conformity". CE Marking is an Administrative Marking on a Product confirming the Manufacturer's Declaration that the Product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European Health, Safety and Environmental Protection Legislation. It is a legal requirement to place certain products on the market in the European Union. CE Marking is only obligatory for products for which EU specifications exist and require the affixing of CE Marking. Some products are subject to several EU requirements at the same time. You must make sure that your product complies with all the relevant requirements before affixing the CE marking to it. It is forbidden to affix the CE Marking to products for which EU specifications do not exist or do not require the affixing of CE Marking. CE Marking on a Product ensures the Free Movement of the Product within the EFTA & European Union (EU). It is a Criminal Offence to affix a CE Mark to a Product that is not Compliant. CE Marking is a part of the EU’s Harmonization Legislation, which is mainly managed by Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs. There are more than 20 Sectoral Product Directives requiring CE Marking covering, Products such as Electrical Equipment, Machines, Medical Devices, Toys, Pressure Equipment, PPE, Wireless Devices and Construction Products. The requirements for CE marking differ across all the Directives and Regulations and may also vary for different products within a Directive/Regulation. Depending on the product, CE marking could purely require a technical file to be compiled, or it could be a more involved process requiring the product to be submitted for regular independent scrutiny.
