CE Marking General Principles

General principles of the CE marking

The CE marking shall be affixed only by the manufacturer or his authorized representative. The CE marking shall be affixed only to products to which its affixing is provided for by specific Community harmonisation legislation, and shall not be affixed to any other product.By affixing or having affixed the CE marking, the manufacturer indicates that he takes responsibility for the conformity of the product with all applicable requirements set out in the relevant Community harmonisation legislation providing for its affixing.The CE marking shall be the only marking which attests the conformity of the product with the applicable requirements of the relevant Community harmonisation legislation providing for its affixing.The affixing to a product of markings, signs or inscriptions which are likely to mislead third parties regarding the meaning or form of the CE marking shall be prohibited. Any other marking may be affixed to the product provided that the visibility, legibility and meaning of the CE marking is not thereby impaired.Member States shall ensure the correct implementation of the regime governing the CE marking and take appropriate action in the event of improper use of the marking. Member States shall also provide for penalties for infringements, which may include criminal sanctions for serious infringements. Those penalties shall be proportionate to the seriousness of the offence and constitute an effective deterrent against improper use.


If you manufacture or import a product which falls within the scope of one or more of the New Approach Directives and wish to place your product on the market in any of the members states of the European Economic Area (EEA), then you must apply CE Marking to your product against the essential requirements of all these applicable directives.

The New Approach Directives will provide a range of compliance routes for your product and show you, usually in a modular format, the available routes to compliance.

You must then decide which is the best fit for your company set up and follow the routes detailed in the Directive.

In many cases the compliance route will require you to use a Notified Body to assist with your certification.

The essential requirements of the New Approach Directives differ from directive to directive and product to product.

We offer CE marking services for all the New Approach directives under the scope of CE marking as follows:


Medical Devices (MDD) - 93/42/EECPressure Equipment (PED) - 97/23/EC

Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive - 99/36/ECSimple Pressure Vessels - 87/404/EECConstruction Products (CPD) - 89/106/EECLow Voltage Equipment (LVD) - 2006/95/ECElectromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - 89/336/EECMachinery - 98/37/ECLifts - 95/16/ECPersonal Protective Equipment (PPE) - 89/686/EECToys - 88/378/EEC

CE MARKING MINI GUIDE


 


'Does the CE Marking Apply?'The CE Marking applies only to products placed in the market or put intoservice in the European Economic Area, and only for a certain number of productgroups or product aspects. So to answer the question whether the CE Markingapplies, one has to determine first if the countries in which the products aregoing to be placed in the market or used are countries that require CE Marking.Secondly, it must be checked if the product, or some of its aspects, are withinthe field of application of the CE Marking regulations.1. The CE Marking is only applicable in the following countries:A) The twenty-seven Member States of the European Union (EU):Austria (became member in 1995)Belgium (Founder Member in 1957)Bulgaria (2007)Czech Republic (2004)Cyprus (2004)Denmark (1973)Estonia (2004)Finland (1995)France (FM 1957)Germany (FM 1957)Greece (1981)Hungary (2004)Ireland (1973)Italy, (FM 1957)Latvia (2004)Lithuania (2004)Luxembourg (FM 1957)Malta (2004)The Netherlands (FM 1957)Poland (2004)Portugal (1986)Romania (2007)Slovakia (2004)Slovenia (2004)Spain (1986)Sweden (1995)United Kingdom (Great Britain) (1973)B) The following three members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA):IcelandNorwayLiechtensteinAlthough Switzerland is member of the EFTA, it does not directly apply the CEMarking. However, Switzerlandhas signed a mutual recognition agreement with the European Union. For some CEMarked products, the Swiss authorities presume they comply with the equivalentSwiss regulations.C) The following countries that seek to become Member States of the EuropeanUnion:- Turkey: Turkey has transposed many of the European CE Marking regulationsinto their national legislation, and requires CE Marking for many products.- Croatia:Most CE Marking regulations have been transposed in Croatian legislation.Products with CE Marking are going to be accepted as products presumed tocomply with Croatian legislation. Croatia is expected to become afull member of the EU in 2009-2010.- Bosnia and Herzegovina:Bosnia and Herzegovinahas started the process of transposing CE Marking regulations in their nationalstate legislation. Products with CE Marking are accepted as products presumedto comply with national legislation.- Albania:Albaniahas started the process of transposing CE Marking regulations in their nationalstate legislation. Products with CE Marking are accepted as products presumedto comply with national legislation.- FYR Macedonia:FYR Macedoniahas started the process of transposing CE Marking regulations in their nationalstate legislation. Products with CE Marking are accepted as products presumedto comply with national legislation.- Serbia:Serbiahas recently started to approximate towards membership of the European Union.It is expected that in the next years the CE Marking regulations will betransposed in their national state legislation, and that products with CEMarking are accepted as products presumed to comply with national legislation.- Montenegro:Montenegrorecently became an independent country. Its government has announced that itaims at membership of the European Union. It is expected that in the next yearsthe CE Marking regulations will be transposed in their national statelegislation, and that products with CE Marking are accepted as productspresumed to comply with national legislation.If your products are placed in the market in other than aforementionedcountries, the CE Marking does not apply.Next you should check whether the product can be considered to be of one of theproduct groups covered by the CE Marking regulations.2. The CE Marking is required only for the following types of products:-Toys-Machinery-Electrical equipment-Electronic equipment-Personal protective equipment-Pressure equipment-Medical devices-Active implantable medical devices-In vitro diagnostica-Radio and Telecommunications terminal equipment-Simple pressure vessels-Gas appliances-Lifts-Recreational craft-Equipment and protective systems for use in explosive atmospheres-Non-automatic weighing instruments-Cableways-Construction products-Explosives for civil use-New hot water boilers-Measuring EquipmentThe CE Marking is NOT required for the following products:-Chemicals-Pharmaceuticals-Cosmetics-FoodstuffsOther than mentioned product groups do not require CE Marking.Products that are not covered by the European CE Marking regulations may fallwithin the scope of other European or national legislation. If there is nospecific legislation, the General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC)applies. This European Directives requires that products are safe, but is doesnot require any marking.Tomorrow, we will look at determining which CE Marking directives and whichEuropean harmonized standards apply. These documents contain the requirementsand CE certification procedures that must be applied before the CE Marking maybe affixed.


 
'Determine the Applicable CE Marking Directives and European Harmonized Standards'
Now we will look into the question how to determine which CE Marking regulationsand European harmonized standards apply.CE DirectivesCE Marking product requirements and certification procedures are laid down inEuropean technical regulations that are called 'directives'. There arecurrently almost 25 CE Marking directives for different product groups (e.g.machinery, toys, medical devices) or product aspects (e.g. electromagneticcompatibility). Please note also that more than one directive can apply to asingle product. For example, a machine with an electrical system and controlpanel is regulated by the Machinery Directive, the Low Voltage Directive andthe EMC Directive.Unfortunately, there is no list that tells you which products are covered bywhich directives. So, you must check every directive in order to determine ifit applies. European harmonized standardsEuropean harmonized standards, are product standards that have been developed,adopted and published by one of the three European standards bodies CEN,CENELEC or ETSI on a mandate by the European Commission. In other words, theEuropean legislator requested the European standards bodies to develop thesestandards. They are called 'harmonized', because the content of these standardsare harmonized with the content of the essential requirements of the directivesto which they pertain. For every CE Marking directive there is a list ofEuropean harmonized standards.The relationship between the CE Marking directives and the European harmonizedstandards is very strong. The CE Marking directives state that if your productmeets the relevant specifications of all appropriate European harmonizedstandards, it is automatically presumed to comply with the appropriate CEdirectives. In other words, if your product is approved according the Europeanharmonized standards, they can be affixed with the CE Marking, because they arepresumed to comply with the essential requirements of the CE Markingdirectives. So applying European harmonized standards provide the easiest wayof checking CE compliance.Of course it is complex to determine the applicable CE Marking directives and European harmonized standards.

CE Marking in Delhi


CE MARKING CERTIFICATE                                                                                                              

The CE marking as it has been legally called since 1993 (per directive 93/68/EEC) (Decision 93/465/EEC), or formerly EC mark is a mandatory conformity marking for products placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA). With the CE marking on a product, the manufacturer declares that the product conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable EC directives.
DE system can help you gain easier access into the European market by ensuring your product meets all the CE mark requirements.  If you manufacture or import products which fall into the scope of one or more of the New Approach Directives you will then need professional guidance on how to meet all the essential requirements of these directives. Before you can sell a medical device or IVD within Europe, you must obtain CE Marking certification and place a CE Mark (CE Marking) on your product. The CE Marking for medical devices is not a quality mark nor is it intended for consumers. It is a legally binding statement by the manufacturer that their product has met all of the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive (MDD 93/42/EEC), In Vitro Diagnostic Device Directive (IVDD 98/79/EC) or the Active Implantable Medical Device Directive (AIMDD 90/385/EEC), where applicable. If a Notified Body is required, the Notified Body's four-digit number would appear below the CE Marking symbol.
