CE certification

"CE" mark is a safety certification mark, is regarded as the manufacturer to open and enter the European market passport. CE stands for the unity of Europe (CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE). In the European Union market "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark, whether it is within the European Union enterprise production of products, or products produced in other countries, in order to be free to circulate in the European Union market, must be affixed with the "CE" mark to indicate that the product complies with the European Union "New Approaches to Technical Harmonization and Standardization" Directive. Technical harmonization and standardization of new methods" directive of the basic requirements. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.

The exact meaning of CE is that the CE mark is a mark of safety conformity, not a mark of quality conformity.

It is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market, where the "CE" marking of the product can be affixed to the EU members of the domestic sales, without the need to comply with the requirements of each member state, so as to achieve the free flow of goods in the EU member states within the scope of the free flow of goods.

Which products to do CE certification

Electrical and electronic products, building materials, household goods, medical products, toys, mechanical equipment, wireless products, transportation, safety and protection products, playground equipment, hardware, sanitary ware, gas appliances, pressure equipment, elevator equipment, measuring instruments, testing equipment and so on many areas, exports to the EU, the CE marking, the CE marking is not required to meet the requirements of each member state, thus achieving the free flow of goods within the EU member states.

Technical harmonization and standardization of new methods" directive of the basic requirements. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.

In the past, the European **** body countries on the import and sale of products with different requirements, according to a country's standards for the manufacture of goods to other countries may not be marketed, as part of efforts to eliminate barriers to trade, CE came into being. Therefore, CE stands for Conformite Européenne.

CE marking of the significance

CE marking of the significance of: CE abbreviation for the symbols affixed to the CE marking of the product in line with the relevant European directives stipulated in the main requirements (Essential Requirements), and used to confirm that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and/or Manufacturer's declaration of conformity, the real product is allowed to enter the European **** body market sales pass.

The relevant directives require the affixing of the CE marking of industrial products, there is no CE marking, may not be marketed and sold, has been affixed to the CE marking of the products into the market, found to be inconsistent with the safety requirements, to be ordered to retrieve from the market, continued violation of the directives related to the CE marking of the provisions of the European Union market will be restricted or prohibited from entering the European Union market or forced to withdraw from the market.

The CE mark is not a quality mark, it is a mark that represents that the product has complied with European safety/health/environmental/hygiene standards and directives. All products sold in the European Union are subject to the mandatory CE marking.

CE certification of the issuance of certificates and certification bodies

(1) business autonomy issued Declaration of conformity / Declaration of compliance "Declaration of conformity", this certificate is a self-declaration of the book, not through a third-party agency (intermediary or testing and certification bodies) issued, therefore, you can use the EU Format of the enterprise "Declaration of Conformity" instead.

(2) Certificate of compliance / Certificate of compliance "Certificate of compliance", this is a third-party organization (intermediary or testing and certification bodies) issued by the Declaration of Conformity, must be accompanied by a test report and other technical information TCF, at the same time, the enterprise must also sign the Declaration of Conformity.

(3) EC Attestation of conformity "EU standard certificate of conformity", this is the European Union Notified Body (Notified Body abbreviated as NB) issued by the certificate, in accordance with European Union regulations, only the NB is qualified to issue the CE statement of EC Type.

Necessity of applying for CE marking

CE marking, for the products of various countries in the European market trade provides a unified technical specification, simplifies the trade procedures. Any country's products to enter the European Union, the European Free Trade Area must be CE certified, in the product affixed with the CE mark. Therefore, CE marking is a passport for products to enter the EU and EFTA countries.

CE certification indicates that the product has met the safety requirements of the EU Directive; it is a commitment of the enterprise to consumers, increasing the degree of consumer trust in the product; affixed with the CE marking of the product will reduce the risk of sales in the European market. These risks include:

the risk of being detained and investigated by customs;

the risk of being investigated by market surveillance agencies;

the risk of being accused by peers for competitive purposes.

Benefits of applying for CE marking

The EU laws, regulations and harmonized standards are not only numerous, but also very complex, so obtaining the help of the EU Notified Body is a wise move that saves time, effort and reduces risks;

Obtaining a CE marking certificate from the EU Notified Body can greatly gain the trust of consumers and market surveillance authorities. Consumers and market surveillance agencies trust;

can effectively prevent the emergence of those irresponsible allegations;

in the face of litigation, the EU Notified Body of the CE marking certificate, will become a legally binding technical evidence;

CE certification of the directives

In recent years, in the European Economic Area (EEA) (European Union, European Free Trade Association) member states, the European Union (EFTA), the European Union (EFTA), the European Union (EEA), the European Union (EFTA), the European Union (EFTA), the United States (EEA), the European Union (EFTA) and other countries (EEA). In recent years, in the European Economic Area (the European Union, the European Free Trade Association member states, except Switzerland) market sales of goods, CE marking the use of more and more, CE marking affixed to the goods to indicate that it meets the safety, health, environmental protection and consumer protection, and so on a series of European directives to express the requirements. As of December 1997, the European **** body issued by the implementation of the CE marking of the directives are as follows:

Low Voltage Directive (LVD) Directive No.: 2014/35/EU

LVD Low Voltage Directive (Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU), the LVD's goal is to ensure that low-voltage equipment in the use of safety. The scope of application of the directive is the use of voltage between 50V and 1000V AC and 75V and 1500V DC electrical products, this directive contains all the safety rules for this equipment, including protection against hazards caused by mechanical reasons. The design and construction of the equipment shall be such as to ensure that no danger arises when the equipment is used for its intended purpose, either under normal operating conditions or under fault conditions.

In summary: the use of voltage for AC in the 50V to 1000V and DC 75V to 1500V between the electrical and electronic products to do CE certification, must be low voltage directive LVD certification.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Directive No.: 2014/30/EU

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the equipment or system in its electromagnetic environment to meet the requirements of the operation and does not produce intolerable electromagnetic interference with any equipment in its environment the ability. Therefore, EMC includes two aspects of the requirements: on the one hand, refers to the normal operation of the equipment in the process of electromagnetic interference generated by the environment can not exceed a certain limit; on the other hand, refers to the presence of electromagnetic interference in the environment of the apparatus has a certain degree of immunity, that is, electromagnetic sensitivity.

Summary: charged products to do CE certification, are to do electromagnetic compatibility EMC Directive certification.

Wireless Directive (RED) Directive No.: 2014/53/EU

Containing wireless bands to transmit and receive powered products to do CE certification, must do this directive.

CE certification of wireless products need to do the directive: EMC Directive, LVD Directive, RTTE Directive, EMF Directive (according to the wireless product and the human body to determine whether the distance needs to be done EMF)

Machinery Directive (MD) Directive No.: 2006/42/2

Machinery Directive described in the machinery, including a single piece of machinery, a group of machinery and replaceable equipment. It should be noted that dangerous machinery to pay attention to the distinction between hazardous machinery required to do the announcement of the agency's CE certification.

Personal Protective Equipment Directive (PPE) Directive No.: EU2016/425

PPE is the abbreviation of personal protective equipment, the so-called PPE refers to any personal protection against one or more hazards to the health and safety of the individual to wear or hold with the device or apparatus. It is mainly used to protect employees from serious work-related injuries or illnesses caused by exposure to chemical radiation, electrical equipment, manpower equipment, mechanical equipment, or in some hazardous workplaces. Examples include: protective shoes and goggles for work; sunglasses for home use; gloves for gardening; helmets for recreational use such as bicycling and ice skating, etc. The PPE Directive does not make any distinction between PPE for work and PPE for recreational use. All PPE, whether for work, home, leisure or sport, must comply with this Directive.

The Toys Directive (TOY) Directive 2009/48/EC

EN71 certification is the standard for toys in the EU market. Children are a group of society's concern and love, children generally love the rapid development of the toy market, at the same time, various types of toys due to the quality of the various aspects of the problem brought to the children's injuries also occur from time to time, so the world's countries on the market for their own toys is becoming increasingly stringent requirements. Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these products, and manufacturing companies must ensure that their products meet the relevant standards before they are sold in the region. Manufacturers must be held responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design or the use of inappropriate materials. This has led to the introduction of the EN71 certification decree for toys in Europe, the significance of which is the technical regulation of toy products entering the European market through the EN71 standard, thus reducing or avoiding the harm of toys to children. EN71 according to the different toys, there are different parts of the test requirements.
