CE marking


CE marking is required for a wide range of products, including electrical and electronic equipment, medical devices, machinery, and toys. It is also required for products that fall under the Construction Products Directive, such as building materials and construction products.

 

To obtain CE marking, a manufacturer must perform a series of tests and assessments to ensure that their product meets the relevant EU standards. This process is known as conformity assessment. There are several different conformity assessment routes that a manufacturer can choose from, depending on the nature of their product and the level of risk it poses.

Once a product has been successfully tested and assessed, the manufacturer can affix the CE marking to it. The CE marking must be clearly visible and legible, and it must be accompanied by the manufacturer's name and address.

CE marking is an important tool for consumers, as it provides them with assurance that the product they are purchasing meets the necessary safety and performance standards. It also helps manufacturers to comply with EU legislation and access the single market of the EEA.

In summary, CE marking is a conformity mark that is found on many products that are sold within the EEA. It indicates that the product meets the relevant EU standards for safety, health, and environmental protection, and it is an important tool for both consumers and manufacturers.
