The famous "CE marking" is the symbol that indicates a product's compliance with all applicable Directives.

A product complying with a Directive in one EU nation, must be allowed on the markets of all other EU nations which makes the CE mark a key ingredient in removing barriers to trade within the EU single-market.

The EU does not have Directives for every single product: only those where differing national legislation within the EU created the perception of a barrier to trade.

CEproof's activities mainly centre around the following Directives.

• ATEX - Directive on Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
• EMC - Electro-Magnetic Compatability Directive
• LVD - Low Voltage Directive
• MD - Safet of Machinery Directive
• MED- Marine Equipment Directive
• PED - Pressure Equipment Directive
• RCD - Recreational Craft Directive (marine)
