Description
This book is essential reading for electronic consumer-product manufacturers doing business in the European marketplace. Compliance with
directives and procedures can be a complex and confusing process, resulting in wasted money and effort. With the help of the CE Marking
Handbook, engineers and managers can more easily identify which rules apply to them and pinpoint what they need to do to comply. Dave
Lohbeck was formerly the Manager for Seminars and Training at TUV Rhineland, the largest German testing and certification agency. He
has worked for many years as an engineer, including nine years in the field of European safety and EMC compliance.
A once complicated
topic is made clear as the author addresses the confusion surrounding CE Marking. Lohbeck offers guidance on both legal and design issues.
This book includes a step-by-step design guide aimed at both novice and experienced exporters. With its help, engineers and managers
can easily identify which rules apply to their products and pinpoint what they need to do to comply. The information presented here is
backed up with facts and examples. Many have been misled, unfortunately, but this book presents the real meaning of CE Marking.
Audience
Engineers and managers responsible for implementing a CE Mark compliance program
