What is CE certification?

CE stands for CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE (European Unity). CE certification is limited to the basic safety requirements of products that do not endanger the safety of humans, animals and goods. In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark, whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU, or a product produced in other countries, in order to circulate freely in the EU market, it must be affixed with the "CE" mark to show that the product meets 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 CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark.

CE certification and certification agency

(1) The Declaration of conformity issued by the enterprise itself, this certificate is a self-declaration, should not be issued by a third party (intermediary or testing and certification body), therefore, An enterprise Declaration of Conformity in EU format can be used instead.

(2) Certificate of compliance/Certificate of compliance, which is a declaration of compliance issued by a third party (intermediary or test certification body), must be accompanied by technical information such as test report TCF, and at the same time, Enterprises must also sign a Declaration of Conformity.

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

The mode required for CE security certification

For almost all EU product directives, the directive usually provides manufacturers with several CE certification (Conformity Assessment Procedures) mode (Module), manufacturers can tailor according to their own situation, choose the most suitable for their own mode. Generally speaking, the CE certification mode can be divided into the following nine basic modes,

(Module A: Internal Production Control) (Module A: Internal Production Control)

Mode Aa: Internal production control, plus third-party inspection (Module Aa: Intervention of a Notified Body)

Module B: EC Type examination Module B: EC Type examination

Module C: Conformity to Type (Module C: Conformity to Type)

Module D: Production Quality Assurance (Module D: Production Quality Assurance)

Module E: Product Quality Assurance (Module E: Product Quality Assurance)

Module F: Product verification (Module F: Product verification)

Module G: Unit Verification

Module H: Full Quality Assurance (Module H: Full Quality Assurance)

Based on the different combinations of the above basic patterns, several other different patterns may be derived. Generally speaking, not any one model can be applied to all products. In other words, manufacturers are not free to choose any of the above modes for CE certification of their products.

Self-declared mode or must pass a third party certification body

The EU Product Directive allows manufacturers of products with A low Risk Level (Minimal Risk) in certain categories to choose Mode A: "Internal production control (self-declaration)" by way of CE certification. Products with a higher level of risk must be involved through a third-party certification Body NB(Notified Body). For products with higher risk levels, the manufacturer must choose A mode other than Mode A, or Mode A plus other modes to achieve CE certification. That is, intervention must be made through a third-party certification Body NB(Notified Body).

The certification process for modes other than Mode A usually requires at least one EU accredited certification body NB to participate in part or all of the certification process. According to different modes, NB may be involved in the certification process by: sample testing, sampling testing, factory review, annual inspection, different quality system audit, etc., and issue the corresponding test report, certificate, etc.

How much does a CE certification cost?

The main cause of CE certification costs

The cost of CE certification mainly depends on the certification body selected and the relevant directives of the product. Different product test items are also very different, generally common products for electronic and electrical products, common test items classified EMC and LVD directives. The cost of CE certification of mechanical products is much higher than that of ordinary products, which involves factory audit procedures and evaluation.

CE certification fees can apply for development funds

Small and medium-sized enterprises international market development capital project support content including product certification project as long as the enterprise meets the development capital project declaration conditions can apply for project subsidies, support content for product inspection and testing costs, other costs are not supported, the support ratio of 50%, the maximum amount of 30,000 yuan/piece. The product certification must be carried out by a foreign certification company or a branch that has been audited and registered by the China Accreditation Administration and the administrative department for industry and Commerce and an authorized agent company (only directly authorized). Each company only supports one certification per product in one country.

Select a CE certification body

Most businesses require TUV certification, but consider the offer too expensive. TUV issued CE certification, its authority is beyond doubt, but in fact, there are many certification bodies recognized by the European Union, you can choose any certification body recognized by the European Union to pass CE certification.

CE certification is only the safety certification of the product, and does not certify the quality of the product. Therefore, the difference between certification bodies recognized by TUV or other European member states is not big, and domestic certification bodies can also issue CE certification certificates.

CE certification is a type of conformity assessment, which is generally certified by the two forms of self-declaration and certification body certification.

CE certification issued in China:

The first point: the authority is doubted, the testing certificate is not recognized, and the enterprise will suffer great losses.

Second point: When the export goods are landed, the other side of the customs may prevent your goods from landing, because the domestic testing agency is not recognized by the EU countries, and the problem testing agency can not guarantee you.

CE certification costs and product directives

Some products CE certification only requires LVD certification, but customers specify that EMC instructions must be done, and there is a cost gap between the two. Do CE certification, some customers are ready to sell in the domestic market, do CE certification is to promote their own products, at will choose a directive to do. CE certification requires its products to circulate freely in the market of EU member states, requiring all the directives contained in its products to pass the test and certification before it can attach the CE mark. Electrical appliances CE certification general requirements LVD, EMC should also include machinery directives. Therefore, the cost is completely different, and the CE certification selection directive should also refer to the opinions of customers and the product's own situation.

CE certification time

The domestic testing time is relatively fast, and the real certification body recognized by the European Union takes a little longer. Choose what kind of certification body, but also refer to the requirements of customers and their own needs, such as the other company specified to do TUV certification, it is done in accordance with customer requirements, itself is a multinational large enterprise, to build a world-class brand, then do TUV certification is fully in line with their own situation. At this stage, the certificates issued by domestic institutions can also be recognized by the EU, and there are also the acquisition of EU certification bodies.

The impact of EU CE certification CPR regulations on China

The new regulations mean that the restrictions will be more stringent for manufacturers, traders, importers and distributors. This has played a considerable role in further regulating the EU market. China is a big country in building materials, and the EU is one of the main exporters of building materials in China. Industry insiders believe that the entry into force of this regulation will usher in new challenges to China's export of 10 billion US dollars of building materials products to the EU. Inspection and quarantine department: The domestic should actively respond
