Update time : 2024-11-21

In a globalized market, the demand for wireless products in the EU continues to grow. If you wish to enter the EU market through cross-border e-commerce platforms like TEMU or Amazon, or through foreign trade, the CE-RED certification is an essential requirement.

 

Wireless Product CE RED Certification Process(图1)


What is CE-RED Certification?  

CE-RED certification is a product safety certification system for radio equipment promoted by the European Union (EU). It replaces the previous R&TTE directive and is a legal requirement to ensure that radio equipment sold in the EU meets relevant safety, health, and environmental standards. The CE-RED directive, numbered 2014/53/EU, came into effect on June 13, 2016. Wireless products compliant with the old R&TTE directive are no longer allowed to be sold in the EU.

 

What are the Test Items for CE-RED Certification?  

- Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing (EMC): Evaluates the device's performance in the electromagnetic environment, ensuring it neither interferes with other devices nor is affected by them.

- Safety Testing (LVD): Ensures the device does not pose any safety hazards under normal or fault conditions.

- radio frequency testing (RF): Tests RF performance based on ETSI standards (e.g., EN 300 220 series), including transmission power, frequency stability, occupied bandwidth, spurious emissions, and receiver sensitivity.

- Frequency Notification (Notification): Verifies that the frequency band used complies with EU regulations.

- sar testing: Evaluates potential health effects of radio equipment on the human body, such as SAR testing for devices like mobile phones.

 

How to Apply for CE-RED Certification?  

Step 1: Understand CE-RED Certification  

The CE-RED (Radio Equipment Directive) is mandatory for wireless products in the EU to ensure safety, health, and environmental compliance. It applies to products such as Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi equipment, remote controls, and mobile phones.

 

Step 2: Confirm Product Scope and Classification  

Determine if your product falls under CE-RED. Different wireless products may have varying requirements and standards. For example, short-range wireless devices and long-range communication devices differ in testing and parameter limits.

 

Step 3: Prepare Technical Documentation  

- Product Manual: Include detailed descriptions of functionality, working principles, wireless technology (e.g., Bluetooth version, Wi-Fi protocol), frequency range, and transmission power.

- Circuit Diagrams and PCB Layouts: Provide detailed diagrams for evaluating electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

- User Manual: Written in an EU official language, detailing installation, use, and maintenance instructions, along with safety precautions.

- Risk Assessment Report: Assess risks like electromagnetic radiation, interference, overheating, or short circuits, and outline preventive measures.

 

4. Select a Certification Body  

- Accreditation: Choose a lab with wireless certification qualifications, such as China JJR Laboratory, known for comprehensive services and competitive pricing.

- Communication: Discuss the certification process, costs, timelines, and specific testing requirements.

 

5. Submit the Certification Application  

- Application Form: Provide accurate product details, including name, model, brand, manufacturer’s information, and applicable standards or directive versions.

- Documentation and Samples: Submit technical documents and product samples. Ensure the samples represent the quality and performance of mass-produced items.

 

6. Product Testing Phase  

- EMC Testing: Ensures products do not interfere with other devices and can function in complex electromagnetic environments.

- RF Performance Testing: Evaluates parameters like transmission power, frequency accuracy, modulation characteristics, and receiver sensitivity.

- Safety Testing: Checks electrical and mechanical safety to prevent risks like electric shocks or structural failures.

- Rectification and Retesting (if needed): Address non-compliance issues reported during testing and resubmit for retesting.

 

7. Certification Issuance  

After passing all tests, the certification body issues the CE-RED certificate, detailing product information, standards, and validity. You can then affix the CE mark on your product, making it legally marketable in the EU.

 

While CE-RED certification may seem complex, thorough preparation and adherence to the process can open doors for your product in the EU market, offering significant growth opportunities.
