Detailed knowledge of CE marking is essential for all businesses, companies, traders, and importers involved in planning, developing, manufacturing, distributing, or operating devices, machines, or systems. This knowledge is crucial to comply with the binding regulations applicable in the European Economic Area. The certification process for CE marking products intended for the European market is clearly outlined in this book. It addresses the complex relationships of CE marking, compatibility with other testing or quality marks, product liability, as well as civil and criminal consequences of failing to apply EU directives or improperly affixed CE marks. This includes aspects arising from the Machinery Directive MRL 2006/42/EC and other directives such as the Low Voltage or EMC Directive.
