Ce certification
"CE" mark is a kind of safety certification mark, which is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. CE stands for obedient Europe. In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a compulsory certification mark. Whether products produced by enterprises within the EU or products produced by other countries want to circulate freely in the EU market, they need to be labeled with "CE" to show that the products meet the basic requirements of the EU's "New Method of Technical Coordination and Standardization" directive. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.
The exact meaning of CE is that CE mark is a safety qualified mark rather than a quality qualified mark.
It is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. All products with the "CE" logo can be sold in the territory of the EU member states if they do not meet the requirements of the member states, thus realizing the free circulation of goods in the territory of the EU member states.
Which products need CE certification?
Electrical and electronic products, building materials, household goods, medical products, toys, mechanical equipment, wireless products, vehicles, safety protection and labor protection products, amusement equipment, hardware bathroom, gas appliance, pressure equipment, elevator equipment, measuring instruments testing equipment and many other fields all need ce certification when exporting to the EU. In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a compulsory certification mark. Whether products produced by enterprises within the EU or products produced by other countries want to circulate freely in the EU market, they need to be labeled with "CE" to show that the products meet the basic requirements of the EU's "New Method of Technical Coordination and Standardization" directive. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.
In the past, European countries had different requirements for imported and sold products, and goods manufactured according to one country's standards probably could not be listed in other countries. As part of efforts to eliminate trade barriers, CE came into being. Therefore, CE stands for obedient Europe.
The meaning of CE mark
The significance of ce mark is that CE abbreviation, as a symbol, indicates that the product with CE mark meets the essential requirements of relevant European directives, and is used to confirm that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and/or the manufacturer's conformity declaration, and truly becomes a passport for the product to enter the European market.
Industrial products with CE mark are required by relevant directives, and those without CE mark shall not be put on the market for sale. Products with CE mark that have been put on the market and are found not to meet the safety requirements shall be ordered to withdraw from the market. Those who continue to violate the relevant CE mark provisions of the directive will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market.
CE mark is not a quality mark, but a mark representing that the product conforms to European series standards and directives such as safety/health/environmental protection/hygiene. All products sold in the EU must be marked with CE mark.
Certification mode and certification institution of ce certification
(1) Conformity statement/conformity statement independently issued by the enterprise. This certificate is a self-declaration, and is not issued by a third-party institution (intermediary or testing and certification institution). Therefore, it can be replaced by an enterprise conformity statement in the EU format.
(2) Certificate of conformity/certificate of conformity is a declaration of conformity issued by a third-party organization (intermediary or testing and certification institution), which must be accompanied by technical data such as test report TCF, and the enterprise should also sign the declaration of conformity.
(3)EC conformity certification, which is a certificate issued by an EU certification body. According to EU regulations, only NB is qualified to issue EC-type CE statements.
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 trade procedures. Products from any country must pass CE certification and be labeled with CE mark before entering the EU and the European Free Trade Area. Therefore, CE certification is a passport for products to enter the markets of EU and EFTA countries.
CE certification shows that the product meets the safety requirements stipulated by EU directives; It is the enterprise's commitment to consumers, which increases consumers' trust in products; Products with the CE mark will reduce the risk of selling in the European market. These risks include:
The risk of being detained and investigated by the customs;
Risks investigated and dealt with by market regulators;
The risk of being accused by peers for competitive purposes.
Benefits of applying for CE certification
EU laws, regulations and coordination standards are not only numerous, but also very complicated. Therefore, it is wise to get the help of EU-designated institutions, saving time and effort and reducing risks.
Obtaining the CE certificate of the EU-designated institution can gain the trust of consumers and market regulators to a great extent;
Can effectively stop those irresponsible accusations;
In the face of litigation, the ce certificate of the EU-designated institution will become legally effective technical evidence;
What are the instructions for CE certification?
In recent years, the CE mark has been increasingly used in goods sold in the European Economic Area (except Switzerland, a member of the European Union and the European Free Trade Association). Commodities bearing the CE mark show that they meet the requirements expressed in a series of European directives, such as safety, hygiene, environmental protection and consumer protection. By the end of February,1997,65438+,the EU issued the following directives to implement the CE mark:
Low voltage command (LVD) command number: 20 14/35/EU.
LVD low-voltage directive (20 14/35/EU), the goal of lvd is to ensure the safety of low-voltage equipment in use. The scope of application of this directive is to use electrical products with AC voltage between 50 volts and 1000 volts and DC voltage between 75 volts and 1500 volts. The directive contains all the safety rules of the equipment, including the prevention of dangers caused by mechanical reasons. The design and structure of the equipment shall ensure that there is no danger when it is used under normal working conditions or fault conditions according to its intended use.
Summary: CE certification of electronic and electrical products with AC voltage of 50V- 1000v and DC voltage of 75V- 1500v requires LV instruction certification.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) instruction number: 20 14/30/EU.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of a device or system to operate according to the requirements of its electromagnetic environment without causing intolerable electromagnetic interference to any equipment in its environment. Therefore, EMC includes two requirements: on the one hand, it means that the electromagnetic interference generated by equipment during normal operation cannot exceed a certain limit; On the other hand, it means that electrical appliances have a certain degree of immunity to electromagnetic interference in their environment, that is, electromagnetic sensitivity.
Summary: CE certification of live products requires EMC instruction certification of electromagnetic compatibility.
Wireless instruction (red) instruction number: 20 14/53/EU.
This manual requires CE certification for charged products with wireless frequency band transmission and reception.
CE certification description of wireless products: EMC description, LVD description, RTTE description, EMF description (whether EMF is needed is judged according to the distance between wireless products and human body).
Mechanical Directive (MD)No.: 2006/42/2
The machinery mentioned in the mechanical specification includes a single machine, a related group of machines and replaceable equipment. It should be noted that in order to distinguish hazardous machinery, it is required to pass the CE certification of the announcement organization.
Personal protective equipment instruction (PPE) instruction number: EU20 16/425.
PPE is the abbreviation of personal protective equipment, and PPE refers to any device or appliance worn or held by individuals to prevent one or more dangers that damage health and safety. Mainly used to protect employees from serious work-related injuries or diseases caused by exposure to chemical radiation, electrical equipment, human equipment, mechanical equipment or some dangerous workplaces. For example: protective shoes and goggles for work; Household sunglasses, gardening gloves; Ride a bike for fun, wear a helmet to skate, etc. PPE directive does not distinguish between personal protective equipment for work and leisure. All personal protective equipment, whether used for work, home, leisure or sports, should comply with this directive.
Toy guide. Decision 2009/48/EC
71certification is the standard of toy products in the EU market. Children are a group that the whole society cares about and cares for. The toy market that children generally like is developing rapidly. At the same time, all kinds of toys have caused harm to children due to various quality problems. Therefore, the requirements of toys in the domestic market are becoming more and more strict all over the world. Many countries have formulated their own safety regulations for these products, and production companies must ensure that their products meet relevant standards before they can be sold in this region. Manufacturers must be responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design or improper use of materials. Therefore, Europe has promulgated the toy EN7 1 certification law. Its significance lies in standardizing the toy products entering the European market through EN7 1 standard, so as to reduce or avoid the harm of toys to children. 7 1 There are different test requirements according to different toys.
