More on the CE mark

Wow, there are a lot of skeezy CE Mark firms, eager to collect fees.  I've been wading through it some, and it sounds like my company can self-certify my product.  What this seems to mean is that Plankton Games declares its product safe officially (there's a form for this) and then it assumes all liability for the product, and then it can use the mark.  This is a good source; I'm looking for others.

  1. If were only that easy.
    First you must determine what Directives your product falls under. Then you must comply with the requirements of that Directive/s. This means compilation of a Technical File. Only then can you complete a Declaration of Conformity and include it with your product. There are other requirements such as having an Authorized Representative in Europe.
    It is not as simple as filling out a form.

  2. I'm pretty sure that's the way it used to be, but there seems to be a new way to self-certify in some cases. I'm not sure these cases apply to me, but the FAQ I link to above pretty clearly states that they sometimes apply depending on what your product is. I need to look into it more closely.
