§4.5.2 Other mandatory markings

Several pieces of Union harmonisation legislation foresee additional markings that are complementary and non-overlapping to the CE marking. Pictograms or other markings indicating, for instance, the category of use are, according to some Union harmonisation legislation, complementary to the CE marking but do not form part of it or replace it. In general, these markings follow the same principles as the CE marking. Some examples: — the EU energy label for energy-related products; — the specific marking of explosion protection required for equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres; — the supplementary metrology marking required for measuring instruments and non-automatic weighing instruments.
