CEmerkinnässä

CEmerkinnässä is a Finnish term that translates to "CE marking" in English. It refers to a self-declaration by the manufacturer that a product meets the essential health and safety requirements of relevant European Union directives. The CE mark signifies that the product has been assessed against these requirements and conforms to them.

Products bearing the CE mark can be sold freely within the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes all EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. This free movement is facilitated by the CE mark, as it indicates that the product meets the standards of all these countries.

The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that their product complies with all applicable directives and for affixing the CE mark. This process may involve self-assessment, or in some cases, the involvement of a Notified Body, which is an independent organization designated by an EU country to assess the conformity of products. The specific requirements and procedures for CE marking vary depending on the type of product and the directives that apply to it. Directives cover a wide range of product categories, including toys, electronics, medical devices, and machinery.
