SCHEDULE 3 THE CE CONFORMITY MARKING AND OTHER INSCRIPTIONS(Articles 8(4) and 10 and Annex III to the Lifts Directive)

1.  The CE conformity marking shall consist of the initials “CE” taking the following form:

2.  If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged, the proportions given in the above drawing must be respected.

3.  The various components of the CE marking must have substantially the same vertical dimension, which may not be less than five millimetres. This minimum dimension may be waived for small-scale safety components.

4.  The CE marking shall be followed by the identification number of the notified body that deals with

• the procedures referred to in Article 8(1)(a)(ii) or (iii)(1),

• the procedures referred to in Article 8(2)(2).

5.  The CE marking shall be affixed to every lift car distinctly and visibly in accordance with Section 5 of Annex 1(3) and on each of the safety components listed in Annex IV(4) or, where that is not possible, on a label inseparably attached to the safety component.

6.  Subject to paragraph 7 below, where a lift or safety component is the subject of other Community directives concerning other aspects and which also provide for the affixing of the CE marking, such marking shall indicate that the lift or safety component is also presumed to conform to the provisions of those other directives.

7.  Where one or more of the other Community directives referred to in paragraph 6 above allow the manufacturer, during a transitional period, to choose which arrangements to apply, the CE marking shall indicate conformity only to the directives applied by the installer of the lift or the manufacturer of the safety component. In this case, particulars of the directives applied, as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, must be given in the documents, notices or instructions required by the directives and accompanying such lift or safety component.

8.  The affixing on the lifts or safety components of markings which are likely to mislead third parties as to the meaning and form of the CE marking are prohibited. Any other marking may be affixed to the lift or safety component, provided that the visibility and legibility of the CE marking are not thereby reduced.
