The CE marking process is a self-certification exercise and although a test house may be involved in part of the process in some cases, they cannot
undertake the manufacturer’s additional CE marking responsibilities. Depending on the specifics of the product and its intended use, there may be a
mandatory requirement to involve a ‘Notified Body’ to some degree, from some degree of testing or verification, to a complete audit of your Factory
Production Control (Quality) system and a complete EC Type test of your product or machine.
The CE Marking Association has a wide range of compliance services that can help you to get on track.
