CE Marking Consultants in Pune India
CE marking –
Product Certification
CE marking is a declaration
by the manufacturer that the product meets all
the appropriate provisions of the relevant legislation
implementing certain European Directives. CE marking
gives companies easier access into the European
market to sell their products without adaptation
or rechecking. The initials "CE" do
not stand for any specific words but are a declaration
by the manufacturer that his product meets the
requirements of the applicable European Directive(s).
You need to establish first which, if any, of
the New Approach Directives or older Global Approach
Directives applies to your product. CE marking
only applies to products within the scope of these
Directives. It should not be applied to products
if they are outside the scope of the Directives.

The European Commission's
"Blue Guide" (Guide to the Implementation
of Directives Based on the New Approach and Global
Approach) lists Directives where the CE Marking
will be applicable. It is available for download
from the Commission
website.
For specific information on the Directives, please
read our relevant guidance documents (see below).
The same principles above apply to imported products.
It is the responsibility of the importer / person
placing the product on the market to ensure that
the product is correctly CE-marked.
The CE
Mark, CE Marking
and CE Certification
If you are manufacturer and are planning to export
a product which falls within the scope of one
or more of the markets in any of the member states
of the European Union (EU) or European Economic
Area (EEA) then it is necessary that you apply
for CE marking of your products against the essential
requirements of all the applicable directives.
Please note that CE Mark is a mandatory mark for
most (around 70%) of the products sold on the
EU market (totaling 28 countries).
The New Approach Directives will provide a range
of compliance routes for your product and show
you, usually in a modular format, the available
routes to compliance. You must then decide which
is the best fit for your company set up and follow
the routes detailed in the Directive. In many
cases the compliance route will require you to
use a Notified Body to assist with your certification.
The essential requirements of the New Approach
Directives differ from directive to directive
and product to product.
If the new product directives apply to your products
and you want to continue to export to the European
market (or introduce new products), then CE Marking
will be crucial to your success.
It is NOT unusual nowadays that non-EU manufacturers
and exporters have had their product(s) seized
by customs officials in the European Union
at the worst or returned to them because they
do not have the CE marking affixed to the product(s).
The CE Marking can be, at the same time, of both
benefits and disadvantages.
Benefits:
• With this "passport" your products
can easily gain access to the entire European
Union (EU) plus European Free Trade Association
(EFTA) market.
• There will be only one
set of laws and regulations for the entire
marketplace which guide the designing, manufacturing
and labeling of products. The multiple and conflicting
national restrictions on regulated products will
be eliminated. Thus the CE Marking on your product
will make your trade with EU countries cheaper
and easier.
• Your product will be made safer for consumers
and thus the damage claims and liability premiums
will be reduced.
