Improper CE Mark Penalties?
Improper CE Mark Penalties?
(OP)
Does anyone have actual examples of penalties/fines imposed for improper application of the CE Mark? Specifically on self certifiable items under the Machinery Directive. I have heard reference of monetary fines and possible jail terms for the person signing the Declaration of Conformity but no specifics.





RE: Improper CE Mark Penalties?
The Declaration of Conformity is a legal document, the person who signs it should be an officer of the company and carry insurance as part of the position. You are liable, if for some reason there is an investigation and it is decided that the product was not conformant, the challenge will go through the legal process.
