At the CE Marking Association we are specialists in product compliance and CE Marking
The CE mark is a symbol that when affixed to a product indicates that it complies with the relevant EU legislation, which enables the free movement of products within the European market. The CE mark is affixed by a manufacturer, importer or authorised representative, who are required to ensure and make a declaration that the product complies.
CE Marking is compulsory and must be affixed before a product is placed (for sale or own use) on the market within the 27 member states of European Economic Area as well as Northern Ireland. Not all products are required to be CE marked, only products that fall within the scope of a European Directive that has requirements for a product to be CE marked. Where a product is required to be CE marked, there is a simple process to follow.
What if no CE Marking Legislation applies? My product does not fall within the scope of any of the above Directives; do I still need to CE mark my product? No! It is illegal to incorrectly CE mark your product, or to do so when the product does not fall within the scope of any of the Directives listed above, however, there are many other European product compliance Directives that may apply to your product that you may need to meet, some of which have their own individual marking requirements.
