CE Marking

CE stands for 'Communité Européen'. CE Marking indicates that a product conforms to a European technical standard identified as a harmonised European Norm (hEN).

The CE Marking harmonised European Norms (hENs) are standards adopted by Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN) who represent all the national standards bodies, following a mandate issued by the European Commission. They are developed through an open and transparent process, built on consensus between all interested parties.

CE Marking is NOT:

• A mark of where the product originates from
• A mark of quality in the traditional sense
• Related to aspects outside the essential requirements or functional performance of the product i.e. it does not cover colour, appearance, etc.
• A licence to use the product in all known applications in EU member states.

The standards have been established to remove technical barriers to trade for construction products. A unique standard will exist for the major glass types/groups. These standards will supersede any national standards.

The first set of nine hENs for glass in building now have a confirmed Date of Applicability of 1st September 2005. The Pilkington products affected are listed below. The harmonised standard reference is noted in brackets.

Pilkington, as a member of the Association of European Flat Glass Manufacturers (GEPVP), is committed to supporting and enacting the various initiatives and directives required to ensure our products are CE Marked.
