EU CE
Project Introduction
The CE mark is a mandatory safety mark proposed by EU law for products. It is an abbreviation of the French word "Conformite Europeenne". All products that meet the basic requirements of EU directives and have undergone appropriate conformity assessment procedures can be affixed with the CE mark. The CE mark is a passport for products to enter the European market, which is a conformity assessment for specific products, focusing on the safety characteristics of the products. It is a conformity assessment that reflects the product's requirements for public safety, health, environment, and personal safety.
CE is a legally mandatory marking in the EU market, and all products covered by the directive must comply with the requirements of the relevant directive, otherwise they cannot be sold in the EU. If products that do not meet the requirements of EU directives are found in the market, manufacturers or distributors should be ordered to take them back from the market. Those who continue to violate relevant directive requirements will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forcibly required to be delisted.
Scope of CE certified products
Mechanical products, personal protective equipment, toys, gas appliances, low-voltage electrical appliances, pressure equipment, measuring equipment, in vitro diagnostic medical devices, medical devices, active implantable medical devices, building materials, telecommunications terminal equipment, boilers, blasting equipment, communication satellite ground stations, lifting equipment, explosive gas equipment, entertainment vessels, non simple pressure vessels, information technology equipment.
Certification instructions and corresponding standards
CE certification directive: It is a series of regulations established by the European Union (EU) in terms of product safety and quality, requiring products sold to the European market to comply with specific directive requirements.
CE certification standard: It is a specific standard requirement that products that comply with the CE certification directive must meet, and it is an essential part of the CE certification process. The development of CE certification standards is based on the CE certification directives formulated by the European Commission, and is developed, published, and updated by organizations such as the European Organization for Standardization (CEN) and the European Organization for Electronic Standardization (CENELEC).
