The CE marking, unlike what the name might suggest, is a particularly articulated process, which goes beyond the mere compilation of a technical file or the affixing of the so-called "CE mark" on the product label. It includes in fact a necessary analysis of the safety risks, evaluation of results, identification and adoption of technical and organizational security measures, periodic review of information relating to the safety of the product and of each individual component, etc. | |||
Added to this is compliance with certain international standards ("harmonised standards"), and often also the intervention of a notified body (NB) and the carrying out of laboratory tests on the product to guarantee its safety characteristics. | |||
Be aware that '''the mere affixing of the CE mark without complying with all the other obligations constitutes a crime and seriously endangers the safety of consumers and beyond'''. At this regard, our team is ready to help manufacturers and customers in order to better understand CE marking process and to give consultancy services when needed. |
