A raft of new CE Marking Directives was implemented earlier in 2016. Amongst the nine new pieces of legislation was the third edition of the EMC Directive and new Low Voltage and ATEX Directives.
Rather unusually, the changes to eight of the nine Directives were identical and furthermore the ninth contains the same changes as part of a wider overhaul.
Some years ago, the European Commission (EC) published the New Legislative Framework (NLF), a separate piece of legislation intended to act upon all CE Marking directives. The 2014 Directives represent the first tranche to incorporate these new provisions.
