In order to affix the CE marking to a product included in the New Approach Directives, conformity assessment procedures. These processes are two types, depending on whether the risk of the product is low or high.

For low-risk products, the manufacturer may determine whether it meets the relevant directive criteria and basic requirements, either by using its own facilities or by having another product inspected or tested by the inspection body. In this case, the conformity assessment will be carried out by itself. It also prepares a declaration of conformity and puts this information and documents in a technical file. After the completion of these studies can now put CE label on the product. This method is applied to low-risk products as described above and to products whose risk is more easily detected. Many products in the directives are considered to be low risk for safety.

But also, New Approach DirectivesHigh risk products are included in the product groups. The risks associated with the use of these products are higher or more difficult to detect. In this case, manufacturers must apply to a notified body established in the member states of the European Union but having branches or representative offices in other countries. Notified bodies are a third party and, through their inspection and testing work, determine whether the products meet the relevant directive criteria and basic requirements. At the end of this study, they prepare a report and submit it to the manufacturer. In this case, the manufacturers also make a declaration of conformity and put these information and documents in a technical file. After the completion of these studies on the product CE label It can be accommodated.

The main guideline on which of the two methods described above applies to a product is the relevant directive. The procedures to be followed in these directives are explained in detail.

If a product CE marking If there is more than one directive, the relevant directive criteria must be taken into consideration separately. However, if the product is not covered by any directive, then it is not necessary to put the CE label on the product.
