The types of assessment for CE Marking are:* **Self-declaration of conformity (Declaration of Conformity - DoC):** The manufacturer assesses their product against the relevant EU harmonisation legislation and declares that it meets all the requirements. This is suitable for products where the risk is considered low. * **Type-examination (EC Type-examination certificate):** An independent Notified Body assesses a representative sample of the product to ensure it meets the essential requirements. The manufacturer can then rely on this certificate for mass production, provided the production process remains controlled. * **Conformity of a unit (EC Verification):** A Notified Body verifies that each individual product meets the essential requirements. This is typically used for customised or one-off products. * **Full quality assurance (EC Production Quality Assurance):** A Notified Body approves the manufacturer's quality management system to ensure products consistently meet the requirements. This covers the entire production process. * **Product quality assurance (EC Product Quality Assurance):** A Notified Body approves the manufacturer's quality system specifically for the final product inspection and testing.The specific conformity assessment procedure required depends on the product and the relevant EU harmonisation legislation (e.g., the New Approach Directives or New Legislative Framework Regulations).
