**CE marking** is the affixing by the manufacturer of a mark attesting that a product complies with the **European directives** applicable to it (safety, health, environment) before it is placed on the market. It is not a quality label but a regulatory **declaration of conformity**, under the manufacturer's own responsibility.

## In the project

A teaching prototype **does not aim** for real CE marking, since it is never placed on the market. What matters on the project side is being able to **identify** that a given sub-system would fall under a given directive ([[basse-tension-en|low voltage]], [[emc-en|electromagnetic compatibility]], machinery via [[iso-12100-en|ISO 12100]]…) and to **record** it as a constraint in the [[cahier-des-charges-fonctionnel-en|cahier des charges fonctionnel]], the French functional requirements specification, without building a regulatory case in-house.

*Regulatory expertise (applicable directives, conformity assessment procedures, the CE technical file) belongs to the **standards course** and to the [[securite-et-qualite-en|safety and quality]] and ESE disciplines. This wiki limits itself to flagging when a directive comes into play.*
