CE markings and EC
directives
The world’s largest single market, the
European Community (EC) was born on
1 January 1993 (changing its name to
EU in November 1993. It is now always
expressed as EU, apart from EC direc-
tives.) EU member country products
have always had their quality and safety
guaranteed according to the individual
standards of each member country.
However, the standards of each country
being different prevented the free flow of
goods within the EU. For this reason, in
order to eliminate non-tariff barriers due
to these standards, and to maximize the
merits of EU unification, the EC direc-
tives were issued concomitant to the
birth of the EU.
The EN standards were established as
universal EU standards in order to facili-
tate EU directives. These standards
were merged with the international IEC
standards and henceforth reflect the
standards in all countries. Also, the CE
markings show that products conform to
EC directives, and guarantee the free
flow of products within the EC.
Appropriate
EC directives for control
equipment products
The main EC directives that are to do
with machinery and electrical equipment
are the machinery directive, the EMC
directive, the low voltage directive, and
the telecom directive. Although these
directives have already been issued, the
date of their enactment is different for
each one. The machinery directive was 1
January 1995. The EMC directive was 1
January 1996, and the low voltage direc-
tive was enacted from 1 January 1997.
The telecom directive was established by
the separate CTR (Common Technology
References.)
What are EN standards?
An abbreviation of Norme Europeenne
(in French), and called European
Standards in English. Approval is by vote
among the CEN/CENELEC member
countries, and is a unified standards
limited to EU member countries, but the
contents conform to the international
ISO/IEC standards.
