CE marking

Introduction

To define CE marking you first need to understand what it represents. By affixing the CE mark you are declaring that your product complies with all the relevant European Union standards and it is illegal to sell a product in the EU unless it has passed the relevant compliance tests to achieve a CE mark.

Furthermore, there are 3 routes an organisation can take to product compliance; approved test house, technical construction file and self certification.

Overview

By using the self certification method and appointing a company like Stafford Aero Technologies to act as your experts, ensures your products complies with the current European Union directives.
