CE Marking on electrical equipment
CE Marking on electrical equipment
(OP)
The CE mark must be present in all new electrical equipment sold in the UK. This is to indicate compliance with applicable EC Directives. Thus a manufacturer in the USA who is trading with the UK or EC member states must ensure that his product meets the CE requirement. I was wondering if the USA has a similar scheme.






RE: CE Marking on electrical equipment
"Listed. Equipment, materials, or services included in a list published by an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with evaluation of products or services, that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials or periodic evaluation of services, and whose listing states that either the equipment, material, or services meets identified standards or has been tested and found suitable for a specified purpose.
FPN: The means for identifying listed equipment may vary for each organization concerned with product evaluation, some of which do not recognize equipment as listed unless it is also labeled. Use of the system employed by the listing organization allows the authority having jurisdiction to identify a listed product."
Most well known listing organization is Underwriter's Laboratories http://www.ul.com/. I think Factory Mutual is another.

CE is a self certification system, no independent testing is required. The manufacturer certifies the equipment has been designed to meet the "harmonized standards" (directives). Testing is suggested but not required. Individual components may not be required to conforming
