CE Marking on ecological vacuums

G

Hello, I am a student and have a project on how can we add CE marking on ecological vacuums.

As I have seen the vaccum must comply with directives:
1) 2006/95/ec low voltage directive
2) 2004/108/ec Electromagnetic compatibility
3) 2009/125/ec European Ecodesign Directive
4) 2005/32/ec Ecodesign for energy-using appliances
5) 2010/30/eu on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by energy-related products

and regulations:
1) 666/2013 eco-design requirements
2) 665/2013 labeling requirements

To ad the CE mark are directives 1,2 and 3 enough or do I have to mention all directives and regulations?

Hello and welcome to the Cove :bigwave:

Strictly discussing CE marking (not necessarily all legal requirements for placing on the EU market), only the directive you listed as #1, 2 & 3 provide for CE marking directly.

Please note:
1. Responsibly stating whether those 3 directlives actually apply to the subject product requires access to the full details and a careful examination (I guess that that's your job as the student carrying out the task ;)).
2. Other directives that provide for CE marking may be applicable - careful examination required.
3. Other legal instruments may indirectly apply (via reference), either included in your list or otherwise.

Determining the regulatory scope for CE marking of a product is not a 5 minute job, and is case specific. I guess that unless a good fairy shows up, you'll have to do your best, submit and see what feedback you get from your professor.

Cheers,
Ronen.

Thank you Ronen! You were very helpful!
That's what I also thought, but I was not really sure. I'll study the directives very carefully to be sure about the procedure.

You may also want to look at 2011/65/EU, RoHS Directive to check whether your product is in scope.

I looked at RoHS Directive and think that dust vaccums are not in scope.
I am not sure about R&TTE Directive (2014/53/EU)... as I found a Declaration of Conformity of a vacuum that mentions that the product is in compliance with this directive and can't figure out why.

The RoHS Directive applies to any electrical/electronic device unless it falls under a specific exemption, and I don't see any that you could apply.

The Samsung machine appears to have a wireless sensor, which is why R&TTE has been applied - if you don't have one, you wouldn't apply R&TTE as you have stated,
