CE-Markering

What is a CE Marking?

The CE marking is crucial for products in the European Economic Area (EEA). It indicates that a product complies with EU regulations for safety, health, and environmental protection. This marking is not a quality label but rather a manufacturer's declaration that the product meets the legal requirements. It is mandatory for products falling under EU directives.

Products that do not comply with CE marking

Products that do not meet the CE marking requirements can have serious consequences. They are considered non-compliant and potentially unsafe, which can lead to legal action against the manufacturer, such as fines or product recalls. Additionally, such products may be banned from sale within the EU. It is therefore essential for manufacturers to ensure that their products fully comply with the required standards to guarantee safety and quality and to meet regulatory requirements.

Requirements for vehicles and signaling and work lights

To qualify for CE marking, products must demonstrably comply with the following regulations:

• Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive) (Note: Applies to electrical equipment intended for a nominal direct voltage (DC) between 75V and 1500V);
• Directive 2001/95/EC (General Product Safety);
• Directive 2014/30/EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility);
• Directive 2011/65/EU (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS Directive)).
