Regulatory landscape

CE marking is the manufacturer’s declaration against applicable EU product legislation (LVD, EMC, RED, Machinery, toys, PPE, GPSR and more). Importers and distributors carry duties; market surveillance can demand the technical file.

EU product legislation, notified bodies where required, national market surveillance authorities.

Filing tip: Write the intended use-case first (radio vs non-radio, machinery vs appliance). Directive scope mistakes are the usual rewrite cost.

Check these first

  1. Which directives apply to the finished product?
  2. RED in scope (radio) or EMC/LVD only?
  3. EU Authorised Representative required?
  4. RoHS / REACH / energy labelling overlays?
