how to CE Mark

For anyone wishing to sell a wide variety of manufactured goods in the EU, the CE-Marking is a legal requirement that allows products to be sold freely throughout the EU. The marking certifies that the products comply with European health and safety requirements as outlined in applicable EU product safety directives.

Speakers Yvonne Halpaus and Geoff Oliver, QNET LLC, will focus on machinery products and electrical/electronic equipment and take an interactive approach to understanding EU directives. We’ll look at a number of directives that may affect how you place your products on the EU market and how they were developed, type of products covered, exemptions, implementation and compliance. Directives covered during the program include the Machinery (new 2006/42/EC directive that replaces the present machinery directive in December 2009), RoHS (present and its upcoming recast version), and WEEE directives.

Although we will be focusing on machinery, companies with product lines that require CE-Marking (such as medical devices, construction products, and personal protective equipment) will benefit from attending.

Whether you’re considering the European market for the first time or are an established exporter to one or more of the EU’s 27 countries, it’s crucial to clearly understand the product directives and certifying process.
