EC conformity

EC conformity assessment provide for the producer better condition than the former national verification when the instrument placed on the market:

• The EC conformity assessment is valid through the “European Economic Area” (member states and some other states) 
• The producer have possibility to choose from some conformity assessment modules and have right under prescribed condition to make the assessment themselves

The CE mark affixed on measuring instrument gives evidence of conformity of measuring instrument. The CE mark completed with the declaration of conformity (drawn up by the producer) and some case with the certification of conformity (issued by a notified body) .

The producers have to ensure for EC conformity (for example EC verification) and it is not allowed for the owner of measuring instrument to ask for it.

The legal consequence of EC mark is the same as for the verification:

• The measuring instrument have to consider verified until the securing mark is not broken and until the time passed from the EC conformity assessment is less than the verification interval laid down in the governmental decree 127/1991/Korm .
• It is responsibility of the owner to ask for verification ( verification after repair or subsequent verification)

MKEH is a EU notified body (1422), the other notified bodies you can find in the NANDO database.

EC conformity assessment can be done according the decree 62/2004/GKM implementing the NAWI directive 90/384/EK (2009/23/EK) or according the decree 8/2006/GKM implementing the MID directive 22/2004/EK.
