CE Compliance Statement
Where applicable, Checkpoint Systems, Inc. offers certain Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) products
that have CE Declarations of Conformity to Council Directive(s) EMC 89/336/EEC and LVD 73/23/EEC, as
amended by 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC.
System Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), has been tested and, in most cases, EC type examination
certified through a Notified Body using Competent Body laboratories in Europe, whereby, conformity is
declared to voluntary accepted European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards prETS
300 683 and I-ETS 300 330. In other cases, conformity is declared to the generic emission and immunity
standards EN 50081-1 / EN 55022 and EN 50082-1.
In some countries, national type approval licensing may be required in addition to CE compliance; hence
certain countries have voluntarily accepted the I-ETS 300 330 as the test method standard until further
regulatory harmonization develops within Europe. Additional type approvals may be pending.
