7.1. Principles of CE marking

• The CE marking symbolises the conformity of the product with the applicable Community requirements imposed on the manufacturer.

• The CE marking affixed to products is a declaration by the person responsible that:

• the product conforms to all applicable Community provisions, and

• the appropriate conformity assessment procedures have been completed.

7.2. Products to be CE marked

• The CE marking is mandatory and must be affixed before any product subject to it is placed on the market and put into service, save where specific directives require otherwise.

• Where products are subject to several directives, which all provide for the affixing of the CE marking, the marking indicates that the products are presumed to conform to the provisions of all these directives.

• A product may not be CE marked, unless it is covered by a directive providing for its affixing.

7.3. Affixing of the CE marking

• The CE marking must be affixed by the manufacturer, or by the authorised representative established within the Community.

• The CE marking must take the form below. If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged the proportions must be respected.

• The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to the product or to its data plate. However, where this is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature of the product, it must be affixed to the packaging, if any, and to the accompanying documents, where the directive concerned provides for such documents.

• Where a notified body is involved in the production control phase according to the applicable directives, its identification number must follow the CE marking. The manufacturer or the authorised representative established in the Community affixes the identification number, under the responsibility of the notified body.

7.4. CE marking and other marks

• CE marking is the only marking which symbolises conformity to all the obligations incumbent on manufacturers for the product as required by the applicable directives providing for its affixing. Member States shall refrain from introducing any reference to another conformity marking into their national regulations, which would signify conformity with objectives that relate to the CE marking.

• A product may bear additional markings and marks, provided that they:

• fulfil a different function from that of the CE marking,

• are not liable to cause confusion with it, and

• do not reduce its legibility and visibility.
