Requirements for the 'CE' mark are typically determined by Directives
published as an "Official Journal" (OJ) of the European Union. The directive
you seem to be referring to is the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC). This & other
directives are available online.

TUV has single-day seminars addressing requirements of the 'CE' mark. Both
UL and TUV can do the CD "dance."

Subject: CE or CB ?



         I am in the process of introducing product into the EU and possibly
world wide.  I was shown that the CB mark testing covers all the countries
in the EU that we plan to sell to and other countries as well.  Is this a
new mark?     Would I be better off getting the CE mark and then test to
other countries applicable standards or the CB mark?  The test facility that
provided me with the information was Intertek Testing Services, in
California USA.

I planned to test to:

EN55013
EN55020
TBR21
61000-3-2
61000-3-3
