Article 18 Rules and conditions for affixing the CE marking

The CE marking shall be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to the packaging of the EU fertilising product or, where the EU fertilising product is supplied without packaging, to a document accompanying the EU fertilising product.

The CE marking shall be affixed before the EU fertilising product is placed on the market.

The CE marking shall be followed by the identification number of the notified body, where required under Annex IV.

The identification number of the notified body shall be affixed by the body itself or, under its instructions, by the manufacturer or his or her authorised representative.

Member States shall build upon existing mechanisms to ensure correct application of the regime governing the CE marking and shall take appropriate action in the event of improper use of that marking.
