Herber, Your question has not an easy answer. In fact, the only solution I know is a software my company has developed for the Regional Government in the South of Spain, and it includes general information about European New Approach Directives (CE Directives), their certification procedures and a guide to determine which Directives apply to any product through questions and answers. That software had a free distribution in this region, but the owner is the Industrial Direction of the Andalucia Regional Government (Spain). If you are interested on it, you should contact with the owner (I can give you their address). Unfortunately, it is only in Spanish.

How can a person determine what products need CE marks, and to what directives? Pointers to guidance documents please. Example: We make medical devices. But of course, we also sell wall brackets, carts, tote bags, interconnect cables, printer paper, batteries and chargers, electrodes and sensors, etc... Which of them need CE marks, and to what directives? I am familiar with the scopes of the Medical Device Directive, the EMC directive, the Low Voltage directive and a couple others. It's what I don't know that can bite me. ___________________ Heber Farnsworth, P.E. Physio-Control Corp, Seattle, USA
