C.E. Marking

With the purpose of harmonizing the different existing conformity evaluation procedures and in order to eliminate any obstacles to free circulation within the European Union (UE), a New Focus policy and the CE Marking were introduced. In this way, CE Marking is an indispensable requirement for product marketing in any EU country; in addition, once it is placed on a product, it indicates its conformity with the essential requirements set out in the Community Directives.

Compliance with harmonized norms grants the presumption of conformity with the essential requirements, thereby allowing the CE Marking of given products and the fulfilment of the relevant Directives.

Electrical Appliances Safety Testing Laboratory (LSAE). One of the LSAE’s main targets is to support Spanish companies in complying with the new focus of the European Directives on CE Marking.
