The Challenge

The recast expands the scope of covered products and is now a CE Mark Directive. Since it is now covered under the CE Mark requirements, companies need to ensure conformity assessment procedures are in place to align with module A of Annex II to Decision No 768/2008/EC This includes the use of Standards, Supplier Management, Testing and other mandatory activities to ensure compliance.

If you are not implementing these requirements, you must remove the CE mark from your electronic product!
