Frequently asked questions about CE marking and advice
What does CE stand for?
The letters "CE" stand for "Conformité Européenne," which means "European Conformity." The CE marking indicates that a product complies with the applicable safety, health, and environmental protection requirements of the EU.
How much does support in the CE process cost?
The cost of support services during the CE marking process depends on several factors, including the type of product, the applicable directives, the scope of the risk assessment, and whether a notified body needs to be involved. Since every CE marking application is unique, professional consultation is recommended to avoid unnecessary costs. Cobot Safety can help you find an efficient and cost-effective solution for your CE marking needs.
Who is responsible in the CE process?
The manufacturer is generally responsible for ensuring that a product complies with all applicable directives and for affixing the CE marking. However, certain higher-risk products (e.g., medical devices, pressure equipment) are subject to a conformity assessment procedure involving a "Notified Body." These independent testing bodies are designated by EU member states. Whether external testing is required depends on the relevant directive and the specific product.
