EN CE — MARKING OF CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTS TO EU REQUIREMENTS
EN CE (Conformité Européenne) is a conformity mark that indicates that a product meets the requirements of European safety, health, environmental and consumer protection directives. The CE marking is mandatory for a number of products sold within the European Union.
What is the EN CE directive? EN CE is not a separate standard, but a system of EU technical directives that sets mandatory requirements for certain product categories. Manufacturers who affix the CE marking confirm that their products comply with these requirements and assume legal responsibility for their safety. Among the main directives are the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), etc.
Advantages of the CE marking • The right to sell products in the EU and EEA; • Legal confirmation of the safety and reliability of the product; • Increased trust from consumers and partners; • Opening new sales markets; • Reducing the number of customs and inspection procedures; • Competitive advantage in the international market.
For whom is the EN CE marking relevant? The CE marking is mandatory for companies that: • manufacture industrial equipment; • supply electrical products, household appliances or medical devices; • develop construction materials or products with a potential impact on safety; • export products to the countries of the European Union.
Summary The EN CE marking is an important element of the legalization of products on the European market. It serves as a sign of quality, transparency and responsibility, allowing companies to officially sell their products in Europe without additional technical barriers.
