Hi Alex, Your colleagues in Germany are right. The e-mark procedure tends to be quite involving. I think the problem is that one cannot self certify for the e-mark. The testing and certification has got to be done by a notified body and they do the reporting and relevant 'filing' of your product's e-mark with the vehicle authorities (e.g. VCA in the UK).

I always thought that all that was required was the e mark. However, our colleagues in Germany have came across several products that are marked similar to what I have attached here: example for the "e"- number : e1 020148 (e1---> number of the country, 1=germany ; 02---> revision of the EU-confirmation "95/54/EU" ; 0148----> permit number Is this type of marking required? Is it different per European Country i.e. if it is 1 for Germany what are the numbers for all the other countries? Has anyone got good information? I look forward to your kind replies.
