What are the European Directives?
The Directives are created to allow manufacturers to trade freely within the EEC territory through technical harmonisation of entire product sectors,
and by guaranteeing a high level of protection of public interest objectives. This is done by creating a CE marking
, a "trade symbol" showing that
the technical requirements and those for safety and health are met.
Business and industry are given a wide choice of how to meet their obligations. The European standards bodies have the task of drawing up technical
specifications. Compliance with harmonised standards, of which the reference numbers have been published in the Official Journal and which have
been transposed into national standards, provides presumption of conformity to the corresponding essential requirements of the EC directives.
Manufacturers are free to choose any other technical solution that provides compliance with the essential requirements. Compliance with harmonised
standards remains voluntary and offers one route to complying with these essential requirements.
