C E Marking

Introduction

CE Mark is a mandatory mark for about 70% of the products sold in the European Union market. It is often referred as the 'Trade Passport to Europe' for non-EU products. The letters CE are abbreviations of French phrase 'Conformite' Europe'ene' which literally means 'European Conformity'.

CE Mark is applicable in the markets of the 15 European Union countries and 3 European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member states. CE Mark is applicable to the following Groups of products:

  • Air Traffic Management equipment and systems.
  • Appliances burning gaseous fuel.
  • Cableway installations to carry persons.
  • Construction products.
  • Electrical equipment.
  • Equipment and protective systems for explosives for civil uses.
  • Hot water boilers.
  • Household refrigerators and freezers.
  • Lifts.
  • Machinery.
  • Personal protection equipment.
  • Marine equipment.
  • Measuring instruments.
  • Medical devices.
  • Active implantable medical devices.
  • Non-automotive weighing equipment.
  • Pressure equipment.
  • Simple pressure vessels.
  • Recreational craft.
  • Radio equipment.
  • Telecommunications terminal equipment.
  • Toys.
  • Trans-European conventional rail systems.

It is NOT unusual nowadays that non-EU manufacturers and exporters have their products seized by custom officials in the European Union or returned to them because they do not have the CE marking affixed to the product.

Benefits

The following are the benefits from CE Marking: -

  • Market Access. With the 'passport' of CE Mark, your products can gain easy access to the entire European Union plus EFTA markets.
  • Uniform Regulations. There shall be only one set of laws and regulations for the entire market place for designing, manufacturing and labelling of products.
  • Claims and Liabilities. Your products shall be made safer for consumers, thus reducing claims and liabilities.

The System

A number of CE Directives have been issued. One or more Directive may be applicable to a product. Compliance to all applicable Directives is mandatory.

A product may not be CE marked unless it is covered by a Directive.

The exact design of CE Mark is specified.

Market Surveillance is an essential tool for enforcement. Member States nominate the authority responsible for market surveillance. It is maintained in order to ensure that provisions of the applicable directive are complied with across the community.

Notified Body

A Notified Body is an organization that carries out the appropriate conformity assessment procedures. It is certification organisation that the Competent National Authority of a member state designates in order to carry out one or more of the conformity assessment procedures described in the relevant Directives.
