CE Marking & Product Certification

If you manufacture or import a product which falls within the scope of one or more of the New Approach Directives and wish to place your product on the market in any of the member states of the European Economic Area (EEA), then you must apply for CE marking to your product against the essential requirements of all the applicable directives.

The New Approach Directives will provide a range of compliance routes for your product and show you, usually in a modular format, the available routes to compliance
.
You must then decide which is the best fit for your company set up and follow the routes detailed in the Directive. In many cases the compliance route will require you to use a Notified Body to assist with your certification.

The essential requirements of the New Approach Directives differ from directive to directive and product to product.
