Why should electronic products do CE certification

CE marking – passport to the European market.

Meaning of CE marking: CE is the abbreviation of the European Union (European Communities), and the CE mark indicates to European customs that the product complies with one or more relevant European directives.

Why should the CE mark be affixed.

The European Union has harmonized technical standards in order to make it more convenient for member states and to avoid the use of different signs in each country. The CE mark is like a passport for a product, allowing it to enter the EU and move freely between its member states.

In recent years, the use of the CE mark has increased in the use of the CE mark in goods sold on the market in the European Economic Area (European Union, member states of the European Free Association**, and Switzerland), and the use of the CE mark indicates that it meets the requirements of a series of European directives such as safety, health, environmental protection and consumer protection.

Time requirements for CE marking.

In 1996, CE marking was required for electrical products, as the EMC Directive for Electrical Products was enforced on 1 January 1996, while the Low Electrical Directive was enforced from January 1997. The Machinery Directive has been mandatory since January 1995.

CE marking – European Common Market safety mark.

In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark, whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the European Union, or a product produced in other countries, in order to circulate freely in the EU market, it must be affixed with the "CE" mark, in order to show that the product meets the basic requirements of the EU "New Methods of Technology Harmonization and Standardization" directive. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.

For products that are in line with the directives on technical standards adopted by the European Union, they must wear the EU CE mark. So far, the EU market has implemented the following directives on the convergence of technical standards:

Simple pressurized containers.

EU Directive 404 87).

Toy Safety EU Directive 378 88).

Building products EU Directive 106 89).

Compatible with home electronics.

EU Directive 336 89).

Machinery safety EU 392 89 Directive ).

Personal protective equipment.

EU Directive 686 89).

Non-automatic scales.

EU Directive 384 90).

Gas appliances EU Directive 396 90).

Dismantling medical devices.

Supplement to EU Directive 385 90).

Movable machinery and lifting equipment.

Amendments to EU Directive 392 89).

Communication terminal equipment.

EU Directive 263 91).

Energy-efficient boilers EU 42 Directive 92).

In order to circulate freely on the EU market, the "CE" mark must be affixed.

CE certification, i.e. limited to the basic safety requirements in terms of products that do not endanger the safety of humans, animals and goods, rather than general quality requirements, the Harmonized Directive only stipulates the main requirements, and the general directive requirements are standard tasks. CE is a mandatory certification mark for the EU market, which is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark, and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. If you have certification needs, please contact.

CE certification is a certification mark that has been sold in the EU market in recent years, indicating that it meets a series of EU indicators such as safety, health, environmental protection and consumer protection.

The CE marking is in compliance with the relevant requirements of the EU directives, which proves that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, and is also a pass for the product to be allowed to enter the EU market. In addition, for those who do not have CE certification marks, they shall not be marketed; After affixing the CE certification mark to enter the market, if it is found that it does not meet the safety requirements, it will be ordered to withdraw from the market; Failure to comply with the relevant regulations will result in restrictions or prohibitions from entering the EU market.
