CE certification Requirements for Products in the European Free Trade Area

Any product that wants to enter the European Free Trade Area must obtain CE certification and affix the CE mark. The CE mark indicates that the product meets the safety requirements specified by EU directives. It represents a commitment from the company to consumers, increasing their trust in the product.

Products with the CE mark will reduce the risks associated with selling in the European market. These risks include:

A. The risk of being detained and inspected by customs.

B. The risk of being scrutinized by market surveillance authorities.

C. The risk of being accused by competitors for competitive reasons.

 

Technical Documentation Required for CE Certification:

1. Product instruction manual.

2. Safety design documentation (including key structure diagrams reflecting creepage distance, clearance, number of insulation layers, and thickness).

3. Product technical specifications (or enterprise standards).

4. Product circuit diagram.

5. Product schematic diagram.

6. Copies of the whole machine or component certificates.

7. Other necessary documents.

 

For more detailed information on CE, please refer to the CE section.

CE Application Process:

1. The manufacturer or relevant laboratory (hereafter referred to as the laboratory) submits a preliminary oral or written application.

2. The applicant fills out the CE-marking application form and sends it along with the product manual and technical documents to the laboratory (if necessary, a sample machine may also be required).

3. The laboratory determines the inspection standards and test items and provides a quotation.

4. The applicant confirms the quotation and sends the samples and relevant technical documents to the laboratory.

5. The applicant provides the technical documents.

6. The laboratory issues a payment notice, and the applicant pays the fees as per the notice.

7. The laboratory conducts product testing and reviews the technical documents.

8. The review of technical documents includes:

   a. Checking if the documents are complete.

   b. Ensuring the documents are written in an official EU language (English, German, or French).

9. If the technical documents are incomplete or not in the required language, the laboratory will notify the applicant for improvements.

10. If the tests fail, the laboratory will promptly notify the applicant, allowing them to make improvements to the product. This process repeats until the product passes the tests. The applicant should update the technical documents to reflect the changes.

11. The laboratory provides the applicant with the test report or Technical Construction File (TCF), the CE Certificate of Conformity (COC), and the CE mark.

12. The applicant signs the CE Declaration of Conformity and affixes the CE mark to the product.
