CEmerkintöjen

CEmerkintöjen refers to the CE marking, a conformity marking seen on manufactured products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). This marking indicates that the product has been assessed by the manufacturer and is deemed to meet EU safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. It is not a quality mark but rather a declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with relevant EU directives and regulations.

The CE marking is mandatory for a wide range of products, including toys, electronics, medical devices, and machinery. The specific requirements for each product category are outlined in various EU directives. For a product to bear the CE marking, it must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which can involve self-declaration or, in some cases, assessment by a third-party notified body.

Once a product is CE marked, it can be freely traded within the EEA. Member states are not permitted to restrict the sale of products bearing the CE marking unless they have clear evidence that the product poses a risk to health, safety, or the environment. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the product complies with all applicable EU legislation and for drawing up the necessary documentation, such as a Declaration of Conformity. The CE marking system aims to facilitate the free movement of goods within the internal market while ensuring a high level of protection for consumers and the environment.
