CE Marking, Radio & Medical Updates
CE Marking has changed –what do you need to know?Steve HayesGeneral Manager
CE Marking – basically the same but different
Why do we have CE Marking?
• Health, Safety and Environmental Protection
• Single, harmonised set of technical requirements
• Free movement of goods and services – ‘level playing field’
