CE( ) 마킹 제도

1. 개 요

□ CE( ) 마킹의 의미

CE 마킹은 소비자의 위생, 안전 및 환경 보호를 규정한 관련 EU 규정

에서 제시하는 필수요건에 적합하다는 것을 적합성평가를 통해 확인되었다는

것을 의미하며, CE 마킹대상 품목을 유럽 시장에 판매하고자 하는

제조자들은 의무적으로 부착하여야


부착 함

※CE 마킹은 프랑스어 “"Conformité Européene" 의


머리글자로 ”European Conformity(유럽적합성)"의 의미.
당초에는 EC 마킹으로 사용되었으나 1993년에 Directive
93/68/EEC1)에 의해 CE 마킹으로 대체

☞ CE 마킹은 품질마크의 일종이 아니라 주로 안전성에 관련되는 것

□ 공통적용 국가

○CE마킹은 유럽연합(EU) 25개국과 유럽자유무역연합(EFTA


유럽자유무역연합(EFTA : European
Free Trade Association) 3개국(*스위스는 제외)에서 통용(총 28개국)

- 이들 국가에서는 제품의 설계 및 제조와 관련된 요구사항이 해당

제품에 관한 EU 지침에 의해 단일규정이 적용

검정(시험)기관)가 개입하는지 ②제품의 디자인/생산 단계, 또는 두단계
모두와 관련한 것인지에 따라 8가지 기본모듈(basic modules)로 구분

- 기본모듈외에 모듈간 조합이 된 변형모듈(Variants


변형모듈(Variants of basic

modules)도

○ 제조자는 지침에서 정하는 모듈을 적용하여야


적용 하며, 동일제품군의 지침내

에서는 몇 가지 모듈중에서 선택할


선택 수 있도록 하는 경우도 있음

공인검정기관(Notified Body : NB)

ㅇ 대부분의 지침은 제품의 특성에 따라 위험(risk)의 수준을 분류하는데 극소의


위험(Minimal Risk)을 가진 제품은 자기 검증(제조자가 적합성공표문을 작성)을
하고 자신의 제품에 CE마킹을 부착

- 반면, 상당한 위험(greater risk)가 있는 제품에 대해서는 NB에 의한


독립적인 인증을 받도록 요구

ㅇ NB는 개별 회원국 정부가 추천하고 EU Commission에 의해 공인된


독립적인 시험기관으로서 지침상의 조치를 수행

- 지침에서 정한 시험요건을 충족하는 필요한 자격요건을 가져야 하며 민간조직


민간조직
또는 정부기관 모두 가능
- 통상, NB는 제품 테스트, 형식검정 인증서 발급, 기술파일 및 디자인 서류

ㅇ 제조기업들은 어떠한 EU 회원국에 있는 NB를 선택할 수 있으며,


European Commission는 NB를 “Official Journal of the EU”에 공표

□ 제 4단계 : 만약 제품이 공인검정기관(NB)의 인증이 필요한 경우

다음에 따라 조치

① 적용가능한 제품 표준 및 테스트 방법과 NB를 선택

② EU 내에 승인된 대리인(Authorized Representative)을 지정

- 몇몇 지침은 제조자가 기술문서(Technical Documentation, 때로는 Technical

File로 불림)를 적절한 방법으로 작성제출할 수 있는 승인된 대리인을

EU내에 지정하도록 요구

- 11 -
③ 적합성공표문(DoC
적합성공표문(DoC : Declaration of Conformity)을
Conformity) 준비

※ 적합성공표문(DoC) 모델

④ EU내에서 제품을 등록

- 많은 제품들(예, Class I Medical Devices)이 EU내에 등록이 필요하며

등록요건이 입증되면 등록증명서(Crtificate of Registration)를 받게 됨

- 등록증명서가 없는 경우, CE마킹 부착과 시장 판매가 허용되지 않음

- 12 -
⑤ 제품에 CE 마킹을 부착

- CE 마킹은 Directive 93/68/EEC의


93/68/EEC 규정에 따라 부착
* CE마킹의 크기, 부착위치, 포장 및 재료 혹은 제품의 선적 서류, CE마
킹 부착이 허용되는 때․사람에 대한 구체적인 제한사항 등을 규정
(http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/electr_equipment/emc/directiv/93_68_eec.pdf 참조

※ 상품에 판매되어질 국가가 순수하게 자국내에서


자국내에서 요구하는 다른 사항(
사항(국내표준,
레벨 또는 포장 필요요건 등)도 확인이 필요

4. 다른 국가와의 상호인증(Mutual Recognition)

□ EU는 미국, 일본, 캐나다, 오스트레일리아, 뉴질랜드, 스위스, 이스라엘과

상호인증협정(MRA : Mutual Recognition Agreements )을 체결

○ 상호인증협정은 상대방의 적합성평가기관(CAB


적합성평가기관(CAB : Conformity
Assessment Body)의 시험보고서, 인증서 및 마크 등을 인정하는
조건을 규정

※ 이에 관해서는 http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/international/index_en.htm 참조

5. CE 마킹과 다른 마크와의 관계

□ CE마킹은 국가별로 존재하던 적합성 마킹을 대체하기 때문에 CE마킹과

동일한 의미를 가지는 개별 국가의 적합성 마킹은 위법

○ 따라서, 회원국은 CE마킹을 자국내 규정 및 행정절차에 반영 의무화

□ 그러나, CE마킹과 다른 기능을 수행하고 혼란을 야기하지 않는

추가적 마킹은 가능

- 13 -
6. CE마킹과 정부조달

□ EU시장에 진출하려는 제3국의 제조업자는 CE마킹 대상품목에 해당할


경우 이의 획득이 필수적

○ 일부제품(해당 모듈)의 경우, ISO 9000 품질인증을 획득하는 경우


CE 마킹 획득에 유리

□ EU 공공조달시장에 진출하려는 경우에도 동일하게 적용

○ EU 공공조달시장에 관심이 있는 우리기업들도 CE마킹 적용여부


확인 및 적용시 제품의 요건 충족과 CE마킹 획득에 대한 정보 수집이 요망됨

* 컴퓨터, Fax, 모델, 무선장비, 전화기, 스케너, 프린터, 각종 전자제품 등 행정사무용

Annex 7
Contents of conformity assessment procedures

Council Decision 93/465/EEC lays down the modules for conformity assessment, which are further defined in each direc-
tive. This annex is intended to give an overview of the tasks that are to be carried out under the responsibility of the manu-
facturer and the notified body, and the tasks that the manufacturer can delegate to the authorised representative. However,
there are differences between the conformity assessment procedures adopted by the directives, which are not taken into
account in this general presentation. Furthermore, the tasks to be carried out by the importer or the person responsible for
placing on the market are described in Section 3.3. of the Guide.
