Article R5211-16 of the French Public Health Code

The CE mark is affixed under the responsibility of the manufacturer or his authorised representative. Its form and dimensions are laid down by order of the Minister for Health.

The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to the medical device or to the packaging ensuring sterility, as well as to the commercial packaging and to the instructions for use.

The CE marking is accompanied, where appropriate, by the identification number, published in the Official Journal of the European Union, of the authorised body to which the conformity certification procedures have been entrusted, in France or in another Member State of the European Union or party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
