Such apparatus must comply with certain essential requirements. There is a choice of conformity assessment procedures but, in general, the manufacturer or his authorised representative must maintain technical documentation that includes a declaration of conformity and that shows how compliance is achieved. For radio equipment, it may be necessary to involve a notified body in the conformity assessment procedure. CE marking must be applied to indicate compliance.
