INTRODUCTION

In order for a product to be marketed in the European Union, it must comply with the technical and safety criteria laid down in European directives and regulations. Manufacturers or their representatives in the EU are responsible for the compliance of their products with the applicable requirements and must indicate the conformity of their product by CE marking.

Many products fall within the scope of one or more European directives, and it can sometimes be very complex for the manufacturer or importer to identify the directives applicable to the product, and the tests that need to be carried out and the steps to be taken before CE marking their product.
