CE marking
The CE marking is a label under which a manufacturer declares that all applicable
regulations have been complied with.
More specifically, it indicates:
- That the product complies with all the requirements of the directives that apply.
- That the assessment procedures required for conformity have been carried out.
- The CE marking may only be affixed by the manufacturer or his authorised
representative (within the EC), always before the product is marketed.
- The manufacturer is also responsible for the certification procedures.
- The CE marking must have the following characteristics:
- The manufacturer must add it conspicuously, legibly and indelibly to the product
to be supplied, according to the format provided by law.
- If, due to the appearance and manufacturing method of a product, the CE
marking cannot be added to it, then in this case the marking should be on the
packaging and the documents accompanying the product.
- If the Directive requires the involvement of a Notified Body in the process of
conformity assessment, its identification number must be placed behind the CE
marking. This is done under the responsibility of the Notified Body.
- The ratios must be maintained, and the minimum vertical dimension should be
5 mm.
- The use of signs which might be confused with the "CE" marking, both in mean
-
ing and form, is forbidden. A product may bear other marks or stamps, provided
they are not confused with the "CE" marking, and do not reduce its the legibility
and visibility.
The ratios are as follows:
