13. Certification and Approvals
13.1 CE Certification
By affixing the CE Marking, the manufacturer, its authorized representative, or person placing
the product on the market or putting it into service asserts that the item meets all the essential
requirements of the relevant European Directive(s).
The E marking is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to indicate
conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives. To
permit the use of a CE mark on a product, proof that the item meets the relevant requirements
must be documented. Sometimes this is achieved using an external test house which evaluates
the product and its documentation. Often it is achieved by a company-internal self-certification
process. In any case the responsible organization (manufacturer, representative, importer) has
to issue a C-Declaration of Conformity (EC-DoC) indicating his identity (location, etc.), the list
of European Directives he declares compliance with, a list of standards the product complies
with, and a legally binding signature on behalf of the organization. The EC-DoC underlines the
sole responsibility of the manufacturer. Parts of the certification process for the CE marking
could be performed by 3rd party test houses or certification bodies; in case that this is
mandatory the CE symbol also includes a number that identifies the so called Notified Body.
