It was my understanding that only manufacturing using Annex V of the RTTE would use the CE and notified body number. All others would simply use the CE. -----Original Message----- From: wo...@sensormatic.com [mailto:wo...@sensormatic.com] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 9:56 AM To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org; t...@world.std.com Subject: RE: Notified Body Number I just discovered the Commission's statement on marking in the Sept. 1999 publication "Guide to the implementation of directives based upon the New Approach and the Global Approach". Section 7.3 says, "A notified body may be involved in the design phase, the production phase, or both, depending on the conformity assessment procedures applied. The CE marking shall only be followed by the identification number of the notified body if it is involved in the production phase. Thus the identification number of a notified body involved in conformity assessment according to Module B does not follow the CE marking." Therefore, it appears that a product subject to Annex III or IV of the RTTE must have a NB marking but, according to the above, it cannot follow the CE marking since the NB is not involved in the production phase.

The Maritime Directive requires a CE marking which also includes the NB number. From the example drawing in the directive it shows that the height of the NB number is identical to the height of the CE marking. The distance of the NB number to the CE marking is based on the distance between the characters C and E. The marking for the RTTE Directive would then look like: CE XXX, where XXX is the NB number.

Do any of the other directives or any other documents from the Commission indicate the proper way to size and place the Notified Body number?
