Advertising with CE marking liable to admonition

As misleading advertising with self-evident facts, formulations such as “CE-tested” or “CE-certified” are anti-competitive according to Section 5 (1) sentence 2 no. 3 of the German Unfair Trading Act (UWG) and are liable to an admonition.

As our partner law firm IT Recht Kanzlei reports, the CE marking is a legally required signal element for electrical appliances, toys, medical devices, machinery, construction products and others according to Section 7 of the German Product Safety Act (ProdSG), which calls for compliance with existing legal requirements for safety, health and environmental protection. Without a CE marking, the products concerned are not marketable, i.e. they may not be traded on the internal EU market. The CE marking is not an official certification or the result of independent testing, but a self-declaration by the EU manufacturer, distributor or authorised representative that its products comply with the requirements of EU law. As misleading advertising activities with self-evident facts, formulations such as “CE-tested” or “CE-certified” are anti-competitive and liable to an admonition according to Section 5 (1) sentence 2 no. 3 of the German Unfair Trading Act (UWG) 

Whoever wants to know whether their own products meet the new requirements should quickly secure one of the coveted places at our Product Compliance webinar “Top 25 questions – How to stay compliant?”
