The Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Regulations 2000

CE marking

10.—(1) In these Regulations, “the CE marking” means a marking in the form set out in paragraph 1 of Annex VII as set out in Schedule 7.

(2) The CE marking shall be accompanied by—

(a) the identification number of all notified bodies used where the conformity assessment procedure is carried out in accordance with Schedule 3, 4 or 5;

(b) in the case of radio equipment, the equipment class identifier where one has been assigned.

(3) There shall be marked on the apparatus, on any instructions accompanying it or on any packaging relating to it—

(a) the name of the responsible person; and

(b) the type and batch or serial number assigned to the apparatus by the manufacturer.

(4) Where apparatus is subject to other directives concerning other aspects and which also provide for the affixing of the CE marking, the markings shall indicate that the apparatus in question is also presumed to conform to the provisions of those other directives. However, should one or more of those directives allow the manufacturer, during a transitional period, to choose which arrangements to apply, the CE marking shall indicate conformity to the provisions only of those directives applied by the manufacturer. In this case the particulars of those directives, as published in the Official Journal, must be given in the documents, notices or instructions required by those directives and accompanying such products.

(5) Subject to paragraph (6) any other marking may be affixed to apparatus provided that the visibility and legibility of the CE marking is not thereby reduced.

(6) The affixing of markings on apparatus which are likely to mislead third parties as to the meaning or form of the CE marking is prohibited.
