If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged the proportions must be respected.
The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to the product or to its data plate. However, where this is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature of the product, it must be affixed to the packaging, if any, and to the accompanying documents, where the directive concerned provides for such documents.
Where a notified body is involved in the production control phase according to the applicable directives, its identification number must follow the CE marking. The manufacturer or the authorised representative established in the Community affixes the identification number, under the responsibility of the notified body.
CE marking and other marks
CE marking is the only marking which symbolises conformity to all the obligations incumbent on manufacturers for the product as required by the applicable directives providing for its affixing. Member States shall refrain from introducing any reference to another conformity marking into their national regulations, which would signify conformity with objectives that relate to the CE marking.
A product may bear additional markings and marks, provided that they:
*fulfil a different function from that of the CE marking,
*are not liable to cause confusion with it, and
*do not reduce its legibility and visibility.
