What is CE Marking?
 
CE Marking is the safety mark which proves that your products comply with the mandatory requirements of EC Directives applicable to your products. CE Marking is a kind of passport for distribution and use of your products in EU areas. Allmachinery exported to EU areas requires compliance to Machinery Directive, EMC Directive, and Low Voltage Directive. CE Marking, as a rule, is required by the regulation for marking of the assembled finished products, while labeling internal parts with CE Mark is not required. However, parts that are certified for EU specifications will make it easier for the assembled finished products to be allowed for this marking.
 
Description of each EC directive
 
Directive Requirements Applications
Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) *1 Mandatory requirements for machinery safety Machinery having moving parts Devices such as solenoid valves are not bound to conform with CE Marking. Using devices certified for EU specifications will make it easier to label the finish products with CE Marking.
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) *2 Electromagnetic wave interference (EMI /emission) Electromagnetic wave immunity (EMS/immunity)) Potential hazard of electromagnetic wave or effects by electromagnetic interference. A solenoid valve consisting of a simple solenoid is also not bound to conform with this marking, but its certification to EU specifications will help CE Marking procedure.
Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC) *3 Safety related to electrical shocks Machinery operating with 50 to 1000 VAC and 75 to 1500 VDC
Simple Pressure Vessels Directive (87/404/EEC)*4 Safety on leakage and explosion of vessel The vessel must be welded, and the product (PV/S) between maximum working pressure and the vessel exceed 50 bar · liter. CKD air tank (AT type) is not conformed, so can not be exported to EU area.
