Europe is a prize market, easier to access than ever before. Too many exporters,
especially small and medium sized enterprises, avoid it because the technical
requirements for entry seem too complicated, too difficult, or too expensive.
manufacturers who have successfully accessed the European market know that the
time to understand the European system is well worth the effort.

The CE Mark History
1. Since the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, the European community has
continued to pursue the plans for economic development laid out in that document.
• In The Treaty of Rome, arƟcle 8a
"The community shall adopt measures with the aim of progressively
establishing the internal market ... The internal market shall comprise an area
without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons,
services and capital is ensured"
2. 1975 The European Court of JusƟce via "the rule of reason" permits European Union
(then called European Community) members to set national rules so long as trade
between member states is not restricted. However, product restrictions were
permitted for health, safety or environmental reasons.
3. 1979 The European Court of JusƟce upholds "mutual recognition" permitting
products manufactured (or imported) by a member state which do not present a
health, safety or environmental threat, to travel freely among other states.
4. 198٦ The European Council requests the European Commission to propose revised
legislation for health, safety and environmental product restrictions.
The European Council approves "New Approach" legislation, eliminating national
regulations that restrict trade and establishing community-wide standards, testing
and certification procedures.
5. 1992 The Vice President of the Commission of Brussels along with ministers from the
EU and the EFTA sign an agreement organizing the free movement of goods, persons,
services and capital within the European Economic Area (EEA).
CE Mark (Definitions)
1. The CE marking is a symbol that indicates that a particular product complies with
European product safety, health and environmental requirements. The CE marking
system promotes free trade with Europe by providing a single set of safety and
environmental requirements a product must meet. Products complying with CE
marking are currently accepted in 32 European countries. This is a market of 400
million people with a GNP over $8 trillion. CE marking is acceleraƟng as the “globally
accepted system” for ensuring product safety and environmental requirements.
Possible extensions to other areas of the world are being negotiated at this time.
Page 4

2. CE marking is a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets all the
appropriate provisions of the relevant legislation implementing certain European
Directives.
3. CE marking gives companies easier access into the European market to sell their
products without adaptation or rechecking
4. The Implementation of Directives Based on the New Approach
5. Before you Export to EU You Must establish first which, if any, of the New Approach
Directives or older Global Approach Directives applies to your product.
Because CE marking only applies to products within the scope of these Directives.
It should not be applied to products if they are outside the scope of the Directives.
6. The European Commission refers to the CE Marking of products as a "passport" which
can allow a manufacturer to freely circulate their products within the European
marketplace.
TTThhheee MMMaaarrrkkkeeettt RRReeeqqquuuiiirrreeemmmeeennntttsss
The Market Access Requirements, which are demanded by either EU governments or
private sector parties, are based on:
1. consumer health,
2. product safety,
3. environmental,
4. Social and quality concerns.
Procedures for CE Marking
Before CE marking can be affixed to the product, the manufacturer must follow
certain procedures which may differ for each directive and each product.
A manufacturer must :
1) Identify which New Approach directives apply to the product;
2) prepare the Declaration of Conformity,
3) draw up the Technical ConstrucƟon File (TCF)7
4) compile the CE User Manual.

The Directives(New Approach)
1. In the period up to 1992, and subsequently, the European Parliament has enacted a
series of measures intended to put the Single Market into practice. Some of these
Directives have been aimed at removing barriers of a purely customs/excise nature,
others have concentrated on transport arrangements to ensure the free movement of
goods, while a series of Directives (produced under the heading of `New Approach
Directives') are intended to provide controls on product design, with the principal
objective being to provide a `level playing field' for product safety requirements
across the European Community.
Page 6
Turkey

2. The directives cover a very wide range of product areas. One of the first to be
implemented concerned the safety of children's toys. Subsequent directives have
included provisions for machinery, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), personal
protective equipment, medical devices, gas appliances and commercial explosives,
among others. Also relevant is the Low Voltage Directive. Strictly speaking the LVD,
which was ﬁrst enacted in 1973, pre-dates the New Approach directives, but
subsequent amendments have given it a very similar function and legal structure, and
the amendment which introduced the requirement to CE mark products recognised
that the LVD should broadly be treated as if it were a New Approach directive
IIImmmpppooorrrtttaaannnttt NNNooottteeesss ………
The General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) covers all products not specifically
covered by CE marking directives but which do require some level of safety regulation.
These products may also be regulated at the national level by member states.

(c) damage to other parts of the works or to fittings or installed equipment as
a result of major deformation of the load- bearing construction;
(d) damage by an event to an extent disproportionate to the original cause.
2. Safety in case of fire
The construction works must be designed and built in such a way that in the
event of an outbreak of fire:
— the load-bearing capacity of the construction can be assumed for a
specific period of time,
— the generation and spread of fire and smoke within the works are limited,
— the spread of the fire to neighbouring construction works is limited,
— occupants can leave the works or be rescued by other means,
— the safety of rescue teams is taken into consideration.
3. Hygiene, health and the environment

perceived by the occupants or people nearby is kept down to a level that will
not threaten their health and will allow them to sleep, rest and work in
satisfactory conditions.
