Household Appliance CE Certification Testing

Household Appliance CE certification: CE certification is the certification mark of the European Conformity. It is a self-declaration method by which products comply with EU legal requirements. The CE mark indicates that the product meets the basic safety requirements of the EU and is the legal certification mark for products entering the European market, essentially serving as a "passport" for market access in Europe. For household appliances, CE certification standards are comprised of a series of technical specifications and guidelines on safety, environmental protection, electromagnetic compatibility, and health formulated by the EU. The specific CE certification standards will vary depending on the type, function, and characteristics of the household appliance.

EMC Testing Items:

1. Terminal disturbance voltage

2. Disturbance power

3. Radiated disturbance

4. Harmonic current

5. Voltage fluctuations and flicker

6. Electrostatic discharge immunity

7. Electrical fast transient/burst immunity

8. Surge immunity

9. Voltage dips and short interruptions immunity

10. Continuous disturbance

11. Radiated RF electromagnetic field immunity

12. Conducted RF field immunity

In addition to LVD and EMC testing, some household appliances may include wireless functions,

such as Bluetooth or WiFi, which require testing under the RED directive. Example test standards include:

- EN 300328 BT WiFi (2.4G)

- EN 301893 EN 300 440 WIFI(5G)

Safety Testing Items:

1. Marking and instructions

2. Protection against access to live parts

3. Starting of motor-operated appliances

4. Input power and current

5. Heating

6. Leakage current and electric strength at operating temperature

7. Moisture resistance

8. Leakage current and electric strength

9. Overload protection of transformers and associated circuits

10. Durability

Wireless RED radio frequency testing Items:

1. Output power, duty cycle, transmission sequence, transmission gap, medium usage

2. Power spectral density

3. Cumulative transmission time, frequency occupancy time, and frequency hopping sequence

4. Frequency hopping channel separation

5. Adaptive frequency hopping

6. Occupied bandwidth

7. Out-of-band emissions

8. Spurious emissions

9. Receiver spurious emissions

10. Blocking immunity

If the appliance contains a built-in battery, the battery needs to undergo IEC 62133 testing.

For portable devices or fixed installations, if WiFi power is less than 20mW, Bluetooth requires SAR assessment.

Household Appliance CE Certification Time and Sample Requirements:

- For appliances without wireless functions: 7 working days, requiring 2 complete samples.

- For appliances with wireless functions: 2-3 weeks, requiring 3 complete samples + 1 fixed frequency sample.

Household Appliance CE Certification Documents:

1. Application form

2. User manual

3. Circuit diagram

4. Structural diagram

5. Component list

6. Fixed frequency software and operation instructions (for appliances with wireless functions)
