Electric Blanket CE Certification + RoHS 2.0 Testing

Electric Blanket CE Certification

Electric blankets are contact-type electric heating devices.

They are woven or sewn into blankets with special serpentine heating elements that feature standard insulation performance.

Due to the recent energy crisis in the EU, the demand for heating devices has surged, leading to shortages of electric blankets.

To export electric blankets to the EU, CE certification and RoHS testing are required to enter the market successfully.

China’s JJR Laboratory provides detailed guidance.

We are an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Submissions for testing are welcome.

What is CE Certification in Europe?

The CE mark is a conformity indicator that signifies compliance with European regulations.

It applies to all products under European directives.

In such cases, the CE mark is mandatory.

Products bearing the CE mark are not necessarily manufactured in Europe.

This mark certifies that the product has been evaluated before being introduced and/or sold in Europe.

Electric blankets, typically powered by 220V, must comply with the LVD Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU)

and the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU).

Two test reports are required to issue a CE certificate, and the product must display the CE mark.

Electric Blanket RoHS Certification:

Electric blankets exported to the EU must comply with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.

Testing Standard: EN 63000:2018.

Currently, testing covers the content of 10 hazardous substances:

1. Lead (Pb)

2. Cadmium (Cd)

3. Mercury (Hg)

4. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)

5. Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs)

6. Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs)

7. Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP)

8. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP)

9. Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

10. Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP)

Testing Requirements:

Except for chromium, which must not exceed 0.01%, all other substances must not exceed 0.1% (1000 PPM or 1000 mg/kg).
