What is CE certification?

June 15, 2022

In layman's terms, CE certification is a compulsory certification in the EU. There are clear regulations in the EU market. All products exported to the EU must apply for CE certification. CE certification is a pass for products to be exported to the EU and must be processed. , otherwise it cannot pass through customs and be sold on the EU market.

The CE mark is a safety mark rather than a quality mark. It is the "main requirement" that forms the core of the European Directive.

In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU or a product produced in other countries, in order to circulate freely in the EU market, the "CE" mark must be affixed to indicate that the product Comply with the basic requirements of the EU Directive on New Approaches to Technical Harmonization and Standardization. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.

CE certification requirements:

1. Products must not be harmful to health, the environment and consumers before they can be circulated in the market.
2. Products legally marketed in one EU country can also be sold in other member states.
By affixing the EU CE certification mark on the product, the manufacturer indicates that the product fully complies with the relevant provisions of the EU directive. If permitted by regulations, the CE mark may also be indicated on the packaging or accompanying documents.
The EU CE certification mark is not a test mark, but only indicates that the manufacturer declares that its product complies with all relevant regulations. At present, there are various compliance assessment models to mark compliance with basic requirements, which may involve several units, such as manufacturers, importers and distributors. If you want to apply for CE certification, indicating that the product meets the standard, you still need to find a third-party testing agency for certification.
