What is CE marking and what are the testing requirements?

CE marking is a compulsory EU conformity label that allows for the free movement of goods. Products that carry a CE mark are authorized for sale across all EU Member States, without additional technical or regulatory constraints. As such, CE marking  is a necessary passport to trade if you want your product to be available in the European Union. The requirements for CE marking are dictated by EU legislation, typically directives or regulations approved by the European Commission, and then integrated into the laws of each Member State. These include 'essential requirements' or core compliance points, differing for each product category, which must be met before a product can be CE marked. Conformity to the essential requirements can be validated by testing, which facilitates certification where required. They also provide ‘minimum requirements’ with technical details outlined in harmonized standards which can be adjusted by individual states so long as the core requirements remain the same.

Determining which legislation applies to your product, and which requirements are ‘essential’ or ‘minimum’ can be challenging without the guidance of an expert, as most directives and regulations are written in legal or technical terms rather than approachable language. ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s experts can help identify the correct requirements for you and guide you through any necessary risk assessment before further testing begins.
