CE Marking certification for products eligible for export to the European market. Introducing the consulting process, the procedure of registration of quotation marks certification service CE Marking

The CE Marking is a mandatory conformity symbol required for products sold in the European Economic Area.  The CE marking indicates conformity to the legal requirements of the European Union (EU) Directive with respect to safety, health, environment, and consumer protection. 

By affixing the CE marking, the manufacturer, its authorized representatives, or any entity placing the product on the market asserts that the item meets all of the essential requirements of all the applicable EU Directives and that the applicable conformity assessment procedures have been applied correctly.

All products offered for sale anywhere within the EU must have the mark or they cannot be sold.   Each EU country inspects equipment and documentation to make sure that products conform as required. Any deviations from complete conformity will lead to sanctions such as warnings, sales bans, fines or even imprisonment.
The self-certification process consists of the following stages:
Stage 1: Identify the applicable Directive(s)
The first step is to identify whether the product needs to bear CE marking or not. Not all products are required to bear CE marking, only the products that fall within the scope of at least one of the sectoral directives requiring CE marking. There are more than 20 sectoral product directives requiring CE marking covering, but not limited to, products such as electrical equipment, machines, medical devices, toys, pressure equipment, PPE, wireless devices and construction products.
Identifying which directive(s) may be applicable, as there may be more than one, involves a simple exercise of reading the scope of each directive to establish which apply to the product (Such as the "Low Voltage Directive," 2014/35/EU). If the product does not fall within the scope of any of the sectoral directives, then the product does not need to bear CE marking (and, indeed, must not bear CE marking).
Stage 2: Identify the applicable requirements of the Directive(s)
Each Directive has slightly different methods of demonstrating conformity depending on the classification of the product and its intended use. Every Directive has a number of 'essential requirements' that the product has to meet before being placed on the market.
The best way to demonstrate that these essential requirements have been met is by meeting the requirements of an applicable 'harmonised standard,’ which offer a presumption of conformity to the essential requirements, although the use of standards usually remains voluntary. Harmonised standards can be identified by searching the 'Official Journal' on the European Commission's website, or by visiting the New Approach website established by the European Commission and EFTA with the European Standardisation Organisations.
Stage 3: Identify an appropriate route to conformity
The process is not always a self-declaration process, there are various 'attestation routes' to conformity depending on the Directive and classification of the product. Many products (such as invasive medical devices, or fire alarm and extinguisher systems, Pressure Equipment, Lifts etc.) in most cases, have a mandatory requirement for the involvement of an authorised third party e.g. a "notified body".
There are various attestation routes which include:
-An assessment of the product by the manufacturer.
 -An assessment of the product by the manufacturer, with additional requirement for mandatory factory production control audits to be carried out by a third party.
 -An assessment by a third party (e.g. EC type test), with the requirement for mandatory factory production control audits to be carried out by a third party.
Stage 4: Assessment of the product's conformity
When all of the requirements have been established, the conformity of the product to the essential requirements of the Directive(s) needs to be assessed. This usually involves assessment and/or testing, and may include an evaluation of the conformity of the product to the harmonised standard(s) identified in step 2.
Stage 5: Compile the technical documentation
Technical documentation, usually referred to as the technical file, relating to the product or range of products needs to be compiled. This information should cover every aspect relating to conformity and is likely to include details of the design, development and manufacture of the product.
Technical documentation will usually include:
-Technical description
-Drawings, circuit diagrams and photos
-Bill of materials
-Specification and, where applicable, EU declaration of conformity for the critical components and materials used
-Details of any design calculations
-Test reports and/or assessments
-Instructions
-EU declaration of conformity
Technical documentation can be made available in any format (i.e. paper or electronic) and must be held for a period of up to 10 years after the manufacture of the last unit, and in most cases reside in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Stage 6: Make a declaration and affix the CE marking
When the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative is satisfied that their product conforms to the applicable Directives, an EU declaration of conformity must be completed or, for partly completed machinery under the Machinery Directive, an ECU declaration of incorporation.
