I.L.M.E. SpA - INDUSTRIA LOMBARDA MATERIALE ELETTRICO - has
been operating in Milan since 1938 , in particular in the electrotechnical
sector for the manufacture of equipment for industrial installations.
ILME reflects the traditional entrepreneurial spirit of Lombardy, and
has enjoyed continuous expansion for over half a century. The company
has carved an important role for itself in the principal world markets, also
operating directly in the countries that have assumed world leadership in
the field of automation, including Germany and Japan.

research into the most suitable materials, high quality and safe cabling, a
rapid turnaround and readily available services.
CE marking
As from 1
st
January 1997, in order to launch electrical products on the European
market the manufacturer must ensure these bear the relevant CE marking, in
line with the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/ EEC * (implemented in Italy as L.
D. 18-10-1977 no. 791) and its modification 93/68/EEC * (implemented in Italy
as L.D. 25-11-1996 no. 626/96, published in the supplement to the Gazzetta
Ufficiale of 14-12-1996).
The CE marking must be visible on the product or, if this is not possible, on the
packaging, the instructions for use or on the warranty certificate. It acts as a
declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with all relevant EU
directives regarding its field of application.
ILME products bear the CE marking on the actual product or its packaging.
Almost all ILME products fall within the
scope of the Low Voltage Directive. A
declaration of conformity is required in
order to be able to apply the CE marking.
This declaration, to which the market
is not directly entitled, must be made
available to the controlling authorities (in
Italy, the Ministry for Industry, Commerce
and Handicraft) at all times. In it, the
manufacturer declares the technical safety
standard(s) followed in the manufacture of
the product. These standards must be, in
decreasing order of preference:
- a European standard (EN prefix)
- a European harmonisation document
(HD prefix)
- an international IEC standard
- a national standard
- in the absence of reference
standards, the manufacturer’s internal
specifications guaranteeing compliance
with the basic safety requirements of
the directive.
Compliance with harmonised technical
standards (i.e. ratified by CENELEC) also
constitutes presumption of compliance
with the basic safety requirements of the
directives.
The CE marking of ILME products
results from the declaration of
conformity of the product to
harmonised standards or international
IEC standards.
Through the CE marking, ILME declares full compliance, not merely with
the directive’s basic safety requirements, but also with those international or
national EU standards on which voluntary safety certification markings are
based (e.g. IMQ and VDE). In this way, ILME intends to give the CE marking
the value of self-certification in terms of safety, given the loss in legal value of
voluntary certifications issued by third parties, ratified by directive 93/68/EEC*.
Notwithstanding the above, practically all ILME products still bear voluntary
conformity markings.
The above mentioned EU declaration of conformity becomes null and void
when the assembly of products includes one or more components not
manufactured by ILME and without CE marking.
*Note: The next legal reference for the Low Voltage Directive was 2006/95/
EC, as consolidation of the original Directive 73/23/EEC + Directive 93/68/EEC.
On 29
th
March 2014, the Official Journal of the European Union published the
new Low Voltage directive 2014/35/EU dd. 26
th
February 2014, a recast version
of directive 2006/95/EC, which is in force since on 20
th
April 2016.
