Standards and CE advice from the Enterprise Europe Network
Support with questions on product conformity and application of standards in the EU
Economic operators in the EU, in particular manufacturing, importing and trading companies, are responsible for the conformity of products with the relevant EU product safety regulations. Depending on the role in the supply chain, there are different levels of obligations.

The following topics are covered in particular:
- Conformity with EU regulations for products
- Requirements for CE marking in accordance with EU directives/regulations, e.g. machinery, low voltage, EMC, radio equipment or toy directives
