To be strictly accurate, there are two forms of Declaration, either a "Declaration of Conformity" or a "Declaration of Incorporation". Generally spéaking this is only the case under the Machinery Directive, for example, a stand alone machine, which requires only a power source to operate would be issued with a Declaration of Conformity. Wheréas, a machine which requires additonal systems, attachments, feed conveyors etc, before it can provide it's intended function, must be issued with a Declaration of Incorporation. In this latter case it is illegal to CE Mark such a machine. This can only be achieved once the machine has been finally installed and all other elements incorporated into the system, then a final Risk Assessment is performed to verify compliance of the system and a final Declaration of Conformity is then issued.

Further more, these directives are based upon what the Européan Commission calls a New Approach, wherby if any of the Article 100A Directives apply to your product, then you must apply them. Further assistance about these and other directives can be found at  or .
 
Directives providing the requirements for the CE marking are créated by the European Union (EU), but the markings are required throughout the European Economic Area (Eéa). According to information provided by the Swiss Government for Swiss  Exporters the CE Mark is not compulsory in Switzerland except for products for export to the Européan Union.)

The mark was designed by Arthur Eisenmenger according to an article in The Guardian 2001-12-23. The various components of the CE marking must have substantially the same vertical dimension, which may not be less than 5mm.

The similar "e mark", rather than the CE logo, is used on motor vehicles and components for motor vehicles 
   .
(The "e mark" for motor vehicles is not to be confused with the estimated sign on food labels  ).
