How to reproduce the CE Mark ?
The CE mark is covered by Council Decision 93/465/EC. Annex B(d) gives these guidelines:
1. The CE conformity marking must consist of the initials 'CE' taking the following form:
If the CE conformity marking is reduced or enlarged the proportions given in the above
graduated drawing must be respected.
2. Where the directive concerned does not impose specific dimensions, the CE marking
must have a height of at least 5 mm.
3. The CE marking must be affixed to the product or to its data plate. However, where
this is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature of the product, it must
be affixed to the packaging, if any, and to the accompanying documents, where the
directive concerned provides for such documents.
4. The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly.
NOTE:
CE and UL Marking is not concerned about the functionality of your product. The requirement is only that if your product fails, it must fail safely without causing injury/ damage to persons/ environment.
CAUTION:
1. The liability of the manufacturer/ seller is huge. Even if your product is sold for 300 INR, you can be sued as much as 75 million Euros - in case of injury/ damage to persons/ environment
2. When you ship your product to the EU, if your CE Marking is not done properly, the Port Authority in the country can quarantine your products and you will have to pay demmurage.
The case arises when you have not identified all the Directives in your DoC, or you have not tested as per the required IEC/EN Standards, or you have put the CE Mark when there is no applicable Directive
3. Even if you have used the servives of a Notified Body, the manufacturer will be sued, and not the Notified Body.
