Product Description
Product Description
CE Marking can be regarded as a product's trade passport for Europe. It is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in the European Directive.
The prime aim of the CE Directive is to ensure that "all industrial products that are placed on the market do not compromise the safety and health of users when properly installed, maintained and used in accordance with their intended purpose. Users and third parties should be provided with a high level of protection and the devices should attain the performance levels claimed by the manufacturer."
This book explains the meaning of CE Marking, its history, how the Directive can affect all manufacturers of industrial products, its current status, its associated quality management requirements, and how manufacturers can easily and cost-effectively meet the requirements for CE Conformance.
Essential information for any manufacturer or distributor wishing to trade in the European Union.
Practical and easy to understand.

First Sentence
Although harmonisation and European standardisation commenced in 1957 with the Treaty of Rome (and its aim of progressively establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December 1992), it wasn't until 1985 that the European Economic Community (EEC) - now the European Union (EU) - initiated the 'New Approach of Harmonised Directives and Standards'.

This review is from: CE Conformity Marking: and New Approach Directives (Paperback)
This book has been invaluable during my post-graduate studies, it has been a cornerstone in my understanding of the European Harmonised Directives and I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone wishing to further their knowledge of these regulations or implement them in a practical environment

Well done!,
By A Customer
This review is from: CE Conformity Marking: and New Approach Directives (Paperback)
Having read the previous "reviews" I was, I must admit, initially put off from purchasing a copy of Mr Tricker's book. At a recent meeting, one of my colleagues lent me his copy of the book. Far from finding it "Disappointing" or "Not really worth the money" (see previous reviews) I found this book exceedingly useful. It achieves what it says it intends to do and clearly outlines (in the form of a reference manual) the current status and requirements of the New Approach Directives together with CE Marking. I disagree with your Danish reviewer's comment that the Commission's Guide is much more clearer that Mr Tricker's CE book. This Guide, as it has been written mainly by non-native English speakers, is full of "Eurospeak" and difficult to comprehend. "CE Conformity Marking" on the other hand is clearly written and easy to follow. Whilst I agree with both your reviewers that there are a few typos in the book (as well as shamefully missing Denmark of the EU map!) I have yet to find a better book on this topic. Well done Mr Tricker and thank you!!

Excellent reference source,
By Ken Novanne (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CE Conformity Marking: and New Approach Directives (Paperback)
I had always found New Approach Directives difficult to understand until I read “CE Confomity Marking”! This book is an excellent reference source that is well laid out and enables the reader to quickly find the pertinent points of the Directive that they are researching. It is easy on the eye, uses non technical terms and is something that I regularly ”dip into”.
