An introduction to CE Marking.


The CE mark stands for "Communauté Européenne". A manufacturer uses this mark to document the fact that he has considered all the European internal market directives that are relevant to his product and applied all the appropriate conformity assessment procedures. Products that carry the CE mark may be imported and sold without considering national regulations. That’s why the CE mark is also referred to as the "Passport to Europe". Generally speaking, all directives in accordance with the new concept ("new approach") provide for CE marking. Where a product falls under the scope of several directives which provide for CE marking, the marking indicates that the product is assumed to conform to the provisions of all these directives.
