CE on behalf of European unification (CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE), the original English phrase EUROPEAN COMMUNITY abbreviated as EC, CE, or the European Community languages in many countries in the "EC" is the abbreviation for the phrase. In the past, the EC countries on the import and sale of the product requirements vary, according to a national standard manufactured goods to other countries is very likely not be listed as part of the effort to eliminate trade barriers, CE came into being. CE mark significance of: The acronym for the CE symbols affixed to CE mark the product comply with the relevant provisions of the European Directive the main requirements (Essential Requirements), and used to confirm that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and / or manufacturing manufacturers declaration of conformity and truly become the products are allowed to enter the EC market of pass. The instructions to CE mark affixed to industrial products, there is no CE mark may not be marketed, has been affixed CE mark products entering the market and found that do not meet safety requirements should be ordered to withdraw from the market, continuing violation of the provisions of directives related to CE mark , will be restricted or prohibited access to the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market Constitute the core of the European Directive of "key requirements" in the EC May 7, 1985 of (85/C136/01) number "technical coordination of the new approach with standard resolution" on the need to develop and implement directives as the purpose " main demand "has a specific meaning, which is limited to products do not endanger humans, animals and goods safety, basic safety requirements, rather than a general quality requirements, coordination of instruction only provides the main requirements, the general instructions to the standard task. Products comply with the relevant directives of the main requirements, can be affixed CE mark, rather than in accordance with relevant provisions of the general quality criteria determined whether the use of CE mark. So accurate in the sense: CE mark is a symbol rather than the quality standards of safety approval mark When a product covered by the same time, by a variety of instructions, the product only in full compliance with the provisions of the relevant directives, the CE mark can be affixed. For example: If the right to do a safety check only energy-saving lamps (low voltage testing), does not constitute a sufficient condition for the use of CE mark, and only in the low-voltage Directive and EMC Directive in order to exert the same time, after the CE mark to meet the At present, the EU's CE mark approved the use of the following eight kinds of patterns: (A) plant self-control and certification. Module A (I) (internal production control): 1. For simple, high-volume, non-hazardous products, only the application of European standards of production for manufacturers. 2. Factory for qualified self-evaluation, self-declaration. 3. Technical documents submitted to national agencies ten years, on this basis, review and inspection can be used to determine whether a product complies with Directive, producers and even to provide product design, manufacturing and assembly processes for inspection. 4. Do not need to declare that their production process to ensure that products consistently meet the requirements. Module A (II): 1. Manufacturer fails to European standards of production. 2. Testing organization for product specific components for random testing. (B) from the testing agency assessment. Module B (EC type assessment): Plant samples and technical documents to send to its choice of testing agencies for review, testing agency issued the certificate. Note: Only B were insufficient to constitute the use of CE. Module C (with type [sample] line) + B: Factory for conformance statement (in line with the adoption of certified type), a statement to save a decade. Module D (Production Process Quality Control) + B: This model concerns the production process and final product control, factory testing agencies in accordance with the approved methods (quality system, EN29003) for production, on this basis to declare that their products in line with the type certification (conformance statement). Module E (product quality control) + B: This model is concerned only with the final product control (EN29003), the other with the Module D. Module F (product testing) + B: Plant to ensure its production process to ensure products meet requirements, to consistency of the statement. Recognized testing agencies through the whole inspection and spot checks to verify the compliance of their products. Testing organization certificates. Module G (one by one test): Plant a statement complies with Directive requirements, to submit to the test product technical parameters, testing agency to inspect the product, certificates. Module H (comprehensive quality control): This model concerns the design, production processes and final product control (EN29001). Rest with the Module D + Module E. The use of CE mark, need to go through legal procedures are as follows: 1. Follow the instructions on the use of CE mark of conformity assessment model through which the requirements of conformity assessment principles and Council Directive No. 93/465/EEC, in the eight kinds of authentication mode select the appropriate model. 2. According to instructions to take self-assessment or apply for compulsory third-party assessment or notification procedures for the European Community recognized certification body assessment, the establishment of the consistency of the manufacturer of self-assessment statements and (or) an authorized certification body of the CE certificate, which can be used or permit the use of CE mark preconditions. 3. By the manufacturer in accordance with relevant provisions of Directive conformity assessment by providing models, the self-production or attach a CE mark and the relevant instructions provided additional information. 4. The provisions of the directive should be CE marked parts, and then attach a recognized certification body, identification number, the recognition of conformity assessment by the implementation of the certification bodies themselves affixed to, or authorize the manufacturer or its agent in the EC is responsible for attach. Of particularly dangerous products, Directive provides for compulsory product certification body authorized sample test and (or) quality system approved, shall be assessed first obtain approval in order to be allowed to use the CE mark CE mark for the European Economic Community member states to accept the object is responsible for the adoption of market product safety control, national regulatory authorities, rather than the customer, when a product has been affixed CE mark, the member responsible for sales of safety oversight should be assumed to be in line with the main directives request, free circulation in the EC market CE mark is not by any official authority, the certification body or test laboratory issued, but by the manufacturer or its agents in accordance with the above eight kinds of patterns one (or mixed), self-produced and affixed. Signs must be made in accordance with the requirements of the EU, marking the product or its packaging must be in a prominent position, the entire sign shall not be less than the minimum height of 5mm.
