CE Directives overview

In the 1980s, a transnational legal framework was created for the marketing of products in the EU. The basic principle is the personal responsibility of the person placing the product on the market. One milestone was the definition of CE-relevant products, for which ownership must be documented in a CE declaration of conformity, which later becomes an EU declaration of conformity.
