CE Marking
Before an item can be placed on the market in the EU it must first satisfy the harmonised standards. These are brought up in a series of EU directives with the primary ones affecting electronic products being: - The Low-Voltage Directive (LVD) which covers product safety. - The Electro-magnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive covering electro-magnetic emissions and the susceptibility of electronic assemblies. - The Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive covering transmitting/receiving equipment. For example, if an electronics assembly has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, or GSM/GPRS capabilities then it will come under this directive. - The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS2) directive is in the process of being extended so that its scope will eventually cover every manufacturer. When designing electronic assemblies it will be necessary to select only components which are RoHS-compliant and that RoHS-compliant solders and materials are used during manufacture. In most cases self-certification is acceptable but a technical file must be maintained for each product. This file indicates which standards are relevant to the product and how these standards have been satisfied. CE Marking services are available from Datalink, find out more about these services on their website.
