In Depth
The CE mark indicates that a product complies with the relevant EU health, safety, and environmental protection requirements. It applies to a wide range of product categories: electrical and electronic equipment, lighting, machinery, toys, medical devices, radio equipment, and more.
For most hardware product teams, CE marking involves identifying applicable directives (Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU), conducting conformity assessment, drawing up a Declaration of Conformity, and applying the mark to the product before placing it on the EU market.
