CE Certification: LVD, EMC, and RED Directive Testing

What are the common testing items for EMC, LVD, and RED directives in CE certification? Today, China JJR Laboratory has compiled a brief article to help you understand them!

Common LVD Directive Testing Items

1. Input test

2. Power test

3. Temperature rise test

4. Overload test

5. Leakage current test

6. Damp heat test

7. Overload test (listed twice)

8. Dielectric strength test

9. Ground resistance test

10. Power cord tensile test

11. Plug torque test

12. Impact test

13. Ball pressure test, etc.

Common EMC Directive Testing Items

1. Conducted emissions

2. Power radiation

3. Radiated emissions

4. Magnetic field emissions

5. Voltage fluctuations

6. Harmonics

7. Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

8. Surge (lightning surge)

9. Voltage dips & interruptions, etc.

Common RED Directive Testing Items

1. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing

2. Safety testing (LVD) – under the new directive, RF products powered by batteries must also undergo this test

3. Radio communication equipment testing (RF testing) according to European ETSI standards

4. Notification of permitted spectrum usage in Europe

5. CTR (TBR) testing

6. Electrical safety and health protection testing (SAR assessment)

CE Certification Process

1. Fill out the application form, confirm product name, model, quantity, and submit relevant product documents.

2. Receive quotation and make payment; application form and certification documents are reviewed.

3. If the documents pass the review, conduct product testing. If the test is successful, a draft certificate is prepared.

4. The applicant reviews the draft; if modifications are needed, feedback is given, and a revised draft is issued.

5. Final certificate is issued.
