CE Marked Laser Machine – What Do You Need to Know?
A CE marked laser machine means that the manufacturer declares that the product complies with applicable EU legislation. However, this does not automatically mean that all CE marked lasers are the same.
For clinics, it is important to understand what the CE marking covers – and what it does not cover.
What does CE marking entail?
CE marking is based on:
• EU Declaration of Conformity
• Technical documentation
• Risk assessment
• Compliance with relevant directives or regulations

Class 4 and CE
Many professional lasers are classified as Class 4. The classification is about safety level and is not the same as CE marking.

Are all CE marked lasers the same?
No.
There may be a difference between:
• Quality of documentation
• Test basis
• Classification
• Supplier's regulatory insight
• Support structure
Therefore, clinics should always review the documentation before purchasing.

Import and responsibility
If a clinic itself imports a CE-marked laser machine from a third country, it may have a greater regulatory role.
