The list below shows product types that are required to be CE marked.

Please note that not all products require CE marking. There are some exceptions even within the groups.

If it is not clear from the list whether your product should be marked, please ask us.

• Active implantable medical devices
• Appliances burning gaseous fuels
• Cableway installations designed to carry persons
• Eco-design of energy related products

Some products fall under two or more categories. For instance, a machine may be under the Machinery Directive but also fall under the EMC and Noise Emission in the Environment directives.

There are some strange exceptions. For instance, a bibycle is not considered to be machinery because it is human-powered. However, it may still require to be CE marked if it is intended for children, in which case it would fall under the Toy Safety Directive.
