The CE-marking is the manufacturer’s statement to the EU authorities that his product complies with all relevant CE-marking Directives. It is important to emphasise that the CE-marking is not a quality mark or a guarantee to consumers in EU. The manufacturer is always responsible – within or outside EU – for CE-marking. If the manufacturer is not located in EU, he can authorise a representative located in EU who thus becomes responsible for CE-marking. The representative’s duties and responsibilities must be agreed in writing. Importers not authorised by the manufacturer must keep his documentation in safekeeping in EU for ten years after the last production date. Please bear in mind, that the importer may always be held responsible for the documentation. |

Eurasian Conformity mark The Eurasian Conformity mark (EAC mark) is a certification symbol that shows a product complies with the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It is required for many products that are placed on the market within the EAEU.The mark applies to the member states of the union: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. Products covered by EAEU technical regulations must undergo conformity assessment procedures—such as testing or certification—before they can legally be sold in these countries.The EAC mark serves a similar function to the CE marking in the European Union. It indicates that the manufacturer has ensured the product meets applicable safety, health, and technical standards. Without the EAC mark (where required), products may be denied customs clearance or prohibited from being distributed within the EAEU market. |
