CE representation questions

Does a CE Authorized Representative issue a CE certificate?

No. The manufacturer establishes conformity and the EU declaration. A notified body is involved only where the legislation and procedure require it.

Must every product bear CE marking?

No. CE marking applies only to products covered by EU legislation that requires it. It must not be affixed to other products.

Does the mandate automatically cover my entire catalogue?

No. Only products, models, legislation and tasks listed in the signed mandate and accepted after review are covered.

When does the mandate become active?

After file acceptance, EU entity assignment, both signatures and active payment of the custom plan.

Does the manufacturer remain responsible?

Yes. It remains responsible for design, conformity, technical documentation, testing, the EU declaration and marking.
