CE marking As from 1 January 1997, in order to launch electrical products on the European market the manufacturer must ensure these bear the relevant CE marking, in line with the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC * (implemented in Italy as law 18-10-1977 no. 791) and its modification 93/68/EEC * (implemented in Italy as L. D. 25-11-1996 no. 626/96, published in the supplement to the Gazzetta Ufficiale of 14-12-1996). Said marking must be placed on the product - or, if this is not possible, on the packaging, the instructions for use or the warranty certificate - and acts as a declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with all relevant EU directives. ILME products bear the CE marking on the product or packaging. Almost all ILME products fall under the Low Voltage Directive. A declaration of compliance is required before applying the CE marking. This document, to which the market is not directly entitled, must be made available to the control authorities (in Italy the Ministry for Industry, Commerce and Handicraft) at all times. In it, the manufacturer declares the technical safety standard(s) followed to manufacture the product. These standards must be, in decreasing order of preference: - a European standard (EN prefix) - a European harmonisation document (HD prefix) - an international IEC standard - a national standard - in the absence of reference standards, the manufacturer’s internal specifications, guaranteeing compliance with the directive’s basic safety requirements. Compliance with harmonised technical standards (i.e. ratified by the CENELEC) constitutes presumed conformity to the directive’s basic safety requirements. The CE marking of ILME products results from said products’ declaration of conformity to harmonised standards or international IEC standards. Through the CE marking, ILME declares full compliance, not merely with the directive’s basic safety requirements, but also with those international or national EU standards on which voluntary safety certification markings are based (e.g. IMQ and VDE). In this way, ILME intends to award the CE marking the value of self-certification in terms of safety, given the loss in legal value of voluntary certifications issued by third parties, ratified by directive 93/68/EEC *. Notwithstanding the above, practically all ILME products still bear voluntary conformity markings. ATEX Directive 94/9/EC The products described in this catalogue comply with the main health and safety requirements of ATEX Directive 94/9/EC and subsequent amendments. As they are classified as Ex components (symbol U on the nameplate), they are not marked EC in compliance with the ATEX Directive, but in compliance with the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. * Note: new legal reference for the Low Voltage Directive is 2006/95/EC which is the consolidated edition of Directive 73/23/EEC + Directive 93/68/EEC.
