CE marking

42.—(1) For the purposes of regulation 39(1)(c), the CE marking is properly affixed if—

(a)it is visible, easily legible and indelible; and

(b)it is of a durable nature such that it will remain visible, easily legible and indelible during normal transport or storage; and

(c)it is affixed either—

(i)to the civil explosives themselves, or, where that is not practicable,

(ii)to an identification plate which is attached to the civil explosives and which is so designed as to make its re-use impossible, or,

(iii)where neither of the above is practicable, to the packaging of the civil explosives; and

(d)in the case of civil explosives which are subject to any EU Directive other than the Civil Uses Directive, the requirements imposed by virtue of that other Directive have also been complied with in respect of those civil explosives.

(2) No person may affix to any civil explosives the CE marking or any marking or inscription which is liable to be confused with the CE marking except by properly affixing the CE marking to civil explosives which satisfy the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph (1) of regulation 39.

(3) The CE marking must be in the form shown in Schedule 10.
