The CE mark is a mandatory conformity marking for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). It indicates that the product meets the essential requirements of relevant European Union (EU) directives. To obtain the CE mark, products must undergo a conformity assessment procedure to demonstrate compliance with the applicable directives.
Notified Bodies play a crucial role in this process. These are organizations designated by EU member states to assess the conformity of products with EU requirements. A Notified Body reviews the technical documentation and, if necessary, conducts tests or inspections to ensure that the product meets the required standards.
Here are some of the main directives that may require CE marking:
1. **Medical Devices Directive (MDD)**: Applies to medical devices and requires a comprehensive evaluation of the device’s safety and performance.
2. **Machinery Directive**: Concerns machinery safety and requires an assessment of potential hazards and risk reduction measures.
3. **Low Voltage Directive (LVD)**: Applies to electrical equipment operating at voltages between 50 and 1000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1500 V for direct current.
4. **Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC)**: Ensures that electronic and electrical equipment does not generate electromagnetic interference and can operate without interference from other devices.
5. **Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)**: Covers the design, manufacturing, and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies.
6. **Construction Products Regulation (CPR)**: Concerns the performance of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics.
7. **Personal Protective Equipment Regulation (PPE)**: Covers products designed to protect users against health and safety risks.
It’s important to note that not all directives require the involvement of a Notified Body for the CE marking process. Some directives allow manufacturers to self-declare the conformity of their products based on their own assessment.
Manufacturers should identify the applicable directives for their products and determine whether a Notified Body’s involvement is required. Once the conformity assessment is successfully completed, and all requirements are met, the manufacturer can affix the CE mark to their product, allowing it to be sold throughout the EEA.
If you’re planning to market a product in the EU and need the CE mark, it’s advisable to consult with a Notified Body or a regulatory consultant familiar with EU directives to guide you through the conformity assessment process.
