CE Certification

The CE Marking is a symbol that indicates a product complies with the "essential requirements" of the European laws or Directives (directives are the mechanism by which European-wide legislation is enacted). The CE mark is not a quality mark. It indicates conformity to the legal requirements of the European Union (EU) Directive with respect to safety, health, environment, and consumer protection.

The CE Markings Directive (93/68EEC) was adopted on 07-22-1993. The CE-Directive gives a detailed description of the initials "CE" and the ways that conformity may be acquired. Conformity may be acquired by meeting emission standards, both radiated and conducted, and immunity standards consisting of radio frequency radiated and conducted susceptibility, electrostatic discharge, power line surges and fast transients, voltage dips and interruptions, and power-frequency magnetic field.

The CE mark provides a visible declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with all applicable Directives (there may be more than one applicable Directive). The conformity of the product may be proven by following a testing and/or certification procedure as outlined in the Directive technical requirements.

The mark is affixed to the product/packaging/manuals by the manufacturer after demonstrating compliance.

The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment".  This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.

On the 1st of July, 2006 the EU-Standard RoHS 2002/95/EG was put into operation to ban the use of leaded solder.

How it applies to Rieker/Seika products:  However, SEIKA products used - without exception - as/or in the Control and Security Equipment sector, allowing SEIKA sensors to be exempt from this ban. Based on current technical standards for the manufacture of SEIKA sensors, a secure and lasting solder bond can only be guaranteed with leaded solder. Therefore, as specified in category 9 of the EU-standard 2002/95/EG, leaded solder can be used in these products.
