In general, the CE marking relates to the product groups included in the New Approach Directives introduced by the European Union in 1985 within the framework of technical legislation compliance, and to ensure that these products comply with the essential requirements of the relevant directives of the European Union and that activities.

As it is found through a product CE labeldoes not give the consumer a quality assurance. In contrast, it shows that the product has minimum safety requirements. Consumer, on CE marking makes sure that the product found is safe. However, the CE marking is not directly related to the manufacturer. In this case, if the manufacturer will use CE marking for more than one product, it must be processed separately for each product.

CE certification It is important to which risk group the product belongs to and in which module it is located. Since 1990, the European Union has been using a modular structure in its certification studies. This modular system includes testing and inspection, control and certification of a product. These studies take place in different modules depending on the type of products, the development stages of these products, the type of evaluation work to be performed and the organization which carries out the evaluation. The directives explain how to put the CE label on the product and which module is included in the product. In the modular system, there are eight modules starting from A to H.

The risks of the products are determined as low risk and high risk. Some of the machines have low risk and some of them have high risk.

Low-risk machines conformity assessment The CE label is put directly on the product by the manufacturer.

Conformity assessment of high-risk machines is carried out by the notified body. At the end of the test and inspection works of this organization, CE label is put on the product by the manufacturer.

Notified bodyIs a third-party testing and inspection body authorized by the Council of the European Union and specialized in its field. They start to operate after being published in the Official Journal of the European Union. High risk products must be subject to conformity assessment by a notified body.

Notified bodies are selected by the member states from among the test, inspection and certification bodies whose infrastructure is deemed sufficient for the testing, inspection and certification of the products. Notified bodies designated by the Member States shall be notified to the European Commission and, if adopted, published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The TÜRCERT certification body primarily focuses on certification studies. However, in addition to these studies, it also offers technical services such as various test and inspection studies. Therefore, if there is a need to get more information about what the CE label means and the CE certification of the machine, do not hesitate to contact the experts and employees of the TÜRCERT certification body.
