The "CE" mark is a safety certification mark and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. CE stands for CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE.

In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a compulsory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an EU enterprise or a product produced in another country, if you want to circulate freely on the EU market, you must affix the "CE" mark to indicate the product It complies with the basic requirements of the EU Directive "New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standardization". This is a mandatory requirement of EU law on products.

The accurate meaning of CE is: CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark.

It is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. All products affixed with the "CE" mark can be sold in the EU member states without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus realizing the scope of products in the EU member states Free circulation within.

Which products do CE certification

Electrical and electronic products, building materials, household products, medical products, toy products, mechanical equipment, wireless products, vehicles, safety protection and labor protection products, amusement equipment, hardware sanitary ware, gas appliances, pressure equipment, elevator equipment, metering CE certification is required for export to the European Union in many fields such as appliance testing equipment. In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a compulsory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an EU enterprise or a product produced in another country, if you want to circulate freely on the EU market, you must affix the "CE" mark to indicate the product It complies with the basic requirements of the EU Directive "New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standardization". This is a mandatory requirement of EU law on products.

In the past, European Community countries have different requirements for imported and sold products. Products manufactured according to one country's standards may not be listed in other countries. As part of the effort to eliminate trade barriers, CE came into being. Therefore, CE stands for CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE.

The meaning of CE marking

The meaning of the CE mark is: the CE acronym is used as a symbol to indicate that the product affixed with the CE mark complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European directives, and is used to verify that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and/or manufactured The conformity declaration of the supplier has truly become a passport for the product to be allowed to enter the European Community market.

The relevant directives require industrial products to be affixed with the CE mark. Without the CE mark, they shall not be sold on the market. Products that have been affixed with the CE mark and entered the market shall be ordered to be retracted from the market if they are found to not meet the safety requirements, and continue to violate the relevant CE marking requirements of the directive , Will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market.

The CE mark is not a quality mark, it is a mark that represents that the product has complied with the European safety/health/environmental protection/sanitation standards and directives. All products sold in the European Union must be marked with the CE mark.

CE certification certification model and certification organization

(1) The Declaration of conformity / Declaration of compliance issued by the enterprise independently. This certificate is a self-declaration and is not issued by a third-party agency (intermediary or testing and certification agency). Therefore, the EU format enterprise can be used Replaced by "Declaration of Conformity".

(2) Certificate of compliance / Certificate of compliance "Certificate of Compliance", this is a declaration of conformity issued by a third-party agency (intermediary or testing certification body), must be accompanied by technical data TCF such as test reports, and at the same time, the company must also sign "Declaration of Conformity."

(3) EC Attestation of conformity "Certificate of Conformity to EU Standards", this is a certificate issued by the EU Notified Body (Notified Body abbreviated as NB). According to EU regulations, only NB is eligible to issue a CE declaration of EC Type.

The necessity of applying for CE certification

CE certification provides a unified technical specification for products of various countries to trade in the European market and simplifies the trade procedures. Any country's products must be CE certified to enter the European Union and the European Free Trade Area, and the CE mark should be affixed to the product. Therefore, CE certification is a passport for products to enter the European Union and European Free Trade Zone countries.

CE certification means that the product has reached the safety requirements stipulated by the EU directive; it is a promise of the company to consumers, which increases consumers' trust in the product; products with the CE mark will reduce the risk of sales on the European market. These risks include:

● The risk of being detained and investigated by the customs;

● Risks investigated and dealt with by market supervision agencies;

● The risk of being accused by peers for competitive purposes.

Benefits of applying for CE certification

● The EU's laws, regulations and harmonized standards are not only numerous, but also very complex in content. Therefore, obtaining the help of an EU-designated agency is a wise move that saves time, effort, and risk;

● Obtaining the CE certification from an organization designated by the European Union can gain the trust of consumers and market surveillance agencies to a large extent;

● It can effectively prevent the emergence of irresponsible accusations;

● In the face of litigation, the CE certification certificate of the EU designated agency will become legally effective technical evidence;

What are the directives for CE certification

In recent years, in the products sold in the European Economic Area (European Union, European Free Trade Association member countries, except Switzerland), the use of the CE mark has increased. The products affixed with the CE mark indicate that they comply with safety, health, The requirements expressed by a series of European directives such as environmental protection and consumer protection. As of December 1997, the directives issued by the European Community to implement the CE mark are as follows:

1. 低电压指令(LVD) 指令号：2015/35/EU
LVD低电压指令（Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EC），LVD 的目标为确保低电压设备在使用时的安全性。指令适用范围是使用电压为交流在50V至1000V和直流75V至1500V之间的电器产品，此指令包含此设备的所有安全规则，包括防护因机械原因造成的危险。设备的设计和结构应保证在按其预定用途，在正常工作条件下或故障条件下使用时不会出现危险。

总结：使用电压为交流在50V至1000V和直流75V至1500V之间的电子电器产品做CE认证，都必须要进行低电压指令LVD认证。

2. 电磁兼容(EMC) 指令号：2014/30/EU
电磁兼容性（EMC）是指设备或系统在其电磁环境中符合要求运行并不对其环境中的任何设备产生无法忍受的电磁干扰的能力。因此，EMC包括两个方面的要求：一方面是指设备在正常运行过程中对所在环境产生的电磁干扰不能超过一定的限值；另一方面是指器具对所在环境中存在的电磁干扰具有一定程度的抗扰度，即电磁敏感性。

总结：带电产品做CE认证，都要做电磁兼容EMC指令认证。

3. 无线指令（RTTE）指令号:2014/53/EC
含无线频段发射和接收的带电产品做CE认证，必须做此指令。
无线产品CE认证需要做的指令：EMC指令，LVD指令，RTTE指令，EMF指令（根据无线产品和人体距离判断是否需要做EMF）

4. 机械指令（MD）指令号：2006/42/2
机械指令中所述的机械包括单台的机械、有联系的一组机械和可更换设备。不带电机械做CE认证，需要进行机械指令的认证，如果带电的机械，一般还需补充机械安规LVD指令认证。
需要注意的是，危险机械要注意区分，危险机械要求做公告机构的CE认证。

CE认证适用范围

欧盟EU和欧洲经济区EEA国家都需要CE标志，至2013年1月止欧盟EU共有27个成员国，他们分别是：

Austria 奥地利、 Belgium 比利时、Denmark 丹麦、Finland 芬兰、 France 法国、 Germany 德国、 Greece 希腊、 Ireland 爱尔兰、Italy 意大利、 Luxemburg 卢森堡、 Netherlands 荷兰、 Portugal 葡萄牙、 Spain 西班牙、 Sweden 瑞典、 United Kingdom (Great Britain) 英国、Estonia 爱沙尼亚、 Latvia 拉脱维亚、 Lithuania 立陶宛、 Poland 波兰、 Czech Republic 捷克、 Slovakia 斯洛伐克、 Hungary 匈牙利、 Slovenia 斯洛文尼亚、Malta 马耳他、Cyprus 塞浦路斯、Romania罗马尼亚、Bulgaria保加利亚。

欧洲自由贸易协会 EFTA 的3个成员国：Iceland 冰岛、 Liechtenstein 列支敦士登、 Norway 挪威。
