CE Certification for Home Appliances on Amazon

CE certification is a safety certification and a mandatory requirement for home appliances to enter the EU market. Before being placed on the market, home appliances must bear the CE mark to indicate that the product complies with the essential requirements of the EU CE certification (New Approach Directives) and technical harmonization. This is a mandatory requirement under EU law for relevant products.

The JJR Laboratory in China is qualified and capable of testing under the LVD and EMC directives, and can provide CE certification services for small home appliances.

Scope of CE Certification for Home Appliances

The range of products for CE certification includes:

- Vacuum cleaners, electric irons, towel racks, dryers, steam garment steamers, hair clippers, shavers, toasters, ovens, floor cleaners, robotic vacuum cleaners, warming plates, air fryers, soy milk makers, juicers, multifunctional food processors, electric kettles, coffee machines, rice cookers, microwaves, hairdryers, straighteners, sewing machines, chargers, heaters, humidifiers, range hoods, massagers, electric foot baths, electric toothbrushes, water flossers, electric fans, and other daily small household appliances.

EN Testing Standards for CE Certification of Home Appliances

- EN60335: "Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances"

- EN55014-2: "Electromagnetic Compatibility Requirements for Household Appliances, Electric Tools, and Similar Apparatus - Part 2: Immunity"

- EN 61000-3-2: "Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Limits - Limits for Harmonic Current Emissions (Equipment Input Current ≤16 A per Phase)"

- EN 61000-3-3: "Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Limits - Limitation of Voltage Changes, Voltage Fluctuations, and Flicker in Public Low-Voltage Supply Systems for Equipment with Rated Current ≤16 A per Phase and Not Subject to Conditional Connection"

Testing Items for CE Certification of Home Appliances

1. Certification Content:

- Review of the product's technical documentation

- Examination of the product's circuit diagram

- Determination of the product's certification model

2. Testing Content:

- CE certification involves various testing items, which are determined based on the specific product and relevant directives. The main testing items include:
