What does CE Marking mean?
CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that a product meets applicable EU requirements.
CE is not a quality label or a central EU certificate. Manufacturers must identify applicable acts, assess conformity, prepare technical documentation, issue the EU declaration of conformity and affix the CE marking correctly. A notified body is involved only where the applicable legislation requires it.
Why does it matter for DPP and compliance?
DPP and CE marking solve different tasks but sit in the same compliance chain. The product passport can make CE-relevant evidence, documents and versions discoverable, but it does not replace conformity assessment.
What should teams prepare?
Teams should model CE documents as referenced evidence in the product passport: document type, version, validity, product model, legal act and owner. This keeps the technical file auditable even when product data changes later.
