Meaning
Safety conformity mark rather than quality conformity mark.
Purpose
Demonstrate passing the test of international safety standards
CE is the abbreviation of French, which means "European Conformance" in EnglishEuropean CommunityIn fact, CEEuropean CommunityThe abbreviation of the phrase "European Community" in many national languages was originally abbreviated asEC, since the European CommunityFrenchIt is COMMUNATE EUROPEENNE, and COMUNITA EUROPEA in Italian,PortugueseIt is COMUNIDADE EUROPEIA, and it is COMUNIDADE EUROPE in Spanish, so it is changed to CE.Of course, CE can also be regarded as the "main requirements" that constitute the core of the European directive (CONFORMITY WITH EUROPEAN (DEMAND)). In the European Community Resolution on New Methods for Technical Coordination and Standards (85/C136/01) of May 7, 1985, there is a specific meaning for the "main requirements" that need to be used as the purpose of formulating and implementing the directive, that is, only limited to products that do not endanger human beingsBasic safety requirements for the safety of animals and goods, not generalquality requirementThe coordination instruction only stipulates the main requirements, and the general instruction requirements are standard tasks.The product meets the main requirements of relevant directives, and the CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark.In the 1940s,Western EuropecountryI feel that we should ensure our own security between the United States and the Soviet Union and improveinternational status, accelerateeconomic development, must be united, so pushEuropeintegration process 。European integrationIt can be divided into five levels: establishmentfree trade area、customs union, UnificationBig market, Economymonetary union andPolitical alliance。

Mode required for certification
For almost all EU product directives, the directives usually provide manufacturers with several CE certification modes (Modules),manufacturerYou can choose the most suitable mode according to your own situation.Generally speaking, CE certification modes can be divided into the following 9 typesBasic mode,
Mode A: Internalproduction control(Self declaration) (Module A: Internal Production Control)
Mode Aa: internal production control, plusThird party testing(Module Aa: Intervention of a Notified Body)
Based on the different combinations of the above basic modes, several other different modes may be derived.Generally speaking, not all models can be applied to all products.In other words, it is not that manufacturers can choose any of the above modes to carry out CE certification for their products.
The EU's product directive allows manufacturers of products with low risk levels in certain categories to choose the mode A: "internal production control (self declaration)" for CE certification.Products with high risk level must passThird party certification authorityNB (Notified Body) intervention.For products with high risk level, their manufacturers must choose other modes other than mode A, or mode A plus other modes to achieve CE certification.In other words, it must passThird party certification authorityNB (Notified Body) intervention.
In the certification process of other modes other than mode A, at least one certification authority recognized by EU is usually requiredNBParticipate in part or all of the certification process.According to different modes, NB may conduct sample inspection, sampling inspection, factory review, annual inspection, and differentQuality system audit, etc. to intervene in the certification process, and issue corresponding test reports, certificates, etc.
There are more than 1200Certification bodyRecognized by the European Union, the vast majority of these certification bodies are located in the territory of EU allies.Generally, an NB is only authorized by the EU to carry out one or more modes of certification for one or more types of products.In other words, it is impossible for an EU authorized certification body to certify all product categories, and even if it is authorized for product categories, it is usually not authorized for all models.For each EU product directive, there is usually a NB directory of authorized certification bodies for the product directive.[2]
Maintenance and update
Technical Files
EU laws require that after the products with CE labels are put on the European market, their technical documents must be stored in the EU for inspection by the supervision authorities at any time.If there is any change in the contents contained in the technical documents,Technical documentsIt should also be updated in a timely manner.
Technical documents shall generally include the following contents:
J. Relevant certificates issued by the EU authorized certification authority NB (for other modes other than mode A).
K. Registration certificate of the product in the EU (for some products, such as Class Imedical apparatus and instruments, common IVDIn vitro diagnostic medical devices)。
CE certification feeIt mainly depends on the selected certification body and the relevant directives of the product.differentProduct testingThe projects are also quite different. Generally, the common products are electronic and electrical products. The common test projects are classified into EMC andLVDInstruction.Mechanical productsCE certification feeFar higher than ordinary products, it involves factory audit procedures and evaluation.
CE certification fee can apply for development fund subsidy

Select CE certification body
CE certification is only for productsSafety certification, not rightproduct qualityCertification.Therefore, there is little difference between certification bodies recognized by TUV or other European member states, and domestic certification bodies can also issue CE certificates.
CE certification is aConformity assessmentIt is generally in two forms: self declaration and certification by certification bodies.
CE Certification Fee and Product Directive
Some products are only required to pass the LVD certification for CE certification, but the customer specifies that EMC instructions must be made, and there is a cost gap between the two.CE certification, some customers preparedomestic marketFor the purpose of marketing and CE certification, we choose an order at will.CE certification stipulates that its products can freely circulate in the market of EU member states, and all directives contained in its products are required to passTest certificationThe CE mark can be affixed only after.CE certification of electrical appliances generally requires that LVD and EMC should also include machinery instructions. Therefore, the cost is completely different. CE certification selection instructions should also refer to the customer's opinions and the product's own situation.

The testing time in China is relatively fast, while the real certification body recognized by the EU takes a long time. What kind of certification body should be selected should also refer to the customer's requirements and their own needs, such as the other company's designated to doTUV certificationWe should do it according to the requirements of customers. We are a large multinational enterprise. To build a world-class brand, TUV certification is completely in line with our own situation.At this stage, the certificates issued by domestic institutions can also be recognized by the EU, and there are also certification institutions that have acquired the EU.

Since the European market began to implement the CE mark on toy products in 1990, there has been a strict trend in the implementation of the CE mark. However, when domestic toy manufacturers print the CE mark on their products or packaging, they do not make it completely according to the relevant size regulations. The Council will hereby appeal to domestic manufacturers to pay attention to the CE mark on toysTrade name, trademarks, European agents and the addresses of importers must be pasted or printed on the toy body or other packages in an obvious and readable style. If the toy is too small or is composed of small parts, relevant information can be printed on the toy package orCatalogThe European market has packaging regulations for the size of the CE mark. The height of the CE word should be at least 5mm, and the total length of the CE word should not exceed 12mmtypefaceThe width shall be no less than 1/5.
