Mandatory CE marking on windows and pedestrian doors as of 1th January 2010

With the Communication 2009/C 309/01, published in the Official Journal of the European Union C 309 of 18 December 2009, the EU Commission informs operators that as of 1th February 2010, windows and external pedestrian door sets will be subject to a mandatory CE marking in all the EU member States, in accordance to the indications laid down in the EN 14351-1 Window Product Standard, that specifies characteristics and performances that such goods must fulfil in order to obtain the CE marking.

L’apposizione del marchio CE sui prodotti in questione quindi, a partire dalla suddetta data attesterà la loro idoneità all’uso ed all’impiego previsto, divenendo condizione vincolante per poterli immettere sul mercato.

Qualora tale immissione avvenga senza aver adempiuto agli obblighi previsti, il responsabile incorrerà in sanzioni che vanno dal ritiro del prodotto (nel caso di assenza della marcatura, ex art. 11, comma 3, d.P.R. 246/2006); al sequestro (art. 11, comma 5, d.P.R. 246/2006), fino anche a conseguenze di carattere penale, nei casi di apposizione od utilizzo indebito del marchio CE (le fattispecie più ricorrenti sono quelle di truffa, ex art. 640 c.p. e frode in commercio, art. 515 c.p.).
