Origin of lexical meaning

edit
CE is the abbreviation of French, which means "European Conformance" in English European Community In fact, CE European Community The abbreviation of the phrase "European Community" in many national languages was originally abbreviated as EC , since the European Community French It is COMMUNATE EUROPEENNE, and COMUNITA EUROPEA in Italian, Portuguese It 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 beings Basic safety requirements for the safety of animals and goods, not general quality requirement The 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 Europe country I feel that we should ensure our own security between the United States and the Soviet Union and improve international status , accelerate economic development , must be united, so push Europe integration process European integration It can be divided into five levels: establishment free trade area customs union , Unification Big market , Economy monetary union and Political alliance

Confirm product category and EU Related products Directives If a product belongs to more than one category at the same time, it must meet the requirements listed in the product directives corresponding to all categories. Note: Some products excluded from the directive are sometimes listed in some product directives.
european union Authorized agent
Authorized Representative
In order to ensure that CE CE Marking certification Implementation process 4 requirements are met, EU Law It is required that manufacturers located outside 30 EEA allies must designate one within the EU Authorized representative of EU (Authorized Representative of the European Union) to ensure that the product is delivered to European market After, on Circulation process And the consistency of product "safety" during use; Technical Files must be stored in the EU for inspection by the supervision authority at any time; To be Market supervision The products found by the organization that do not meet CE requirements, or have accidents during use but have been labeled with CE labels, must Take remedial measures (such as temporary removal from the shelf, or permanent removal from the market); CE labeled Product model After being put on the European market, in case of changes or changes in the relevant laws of the European Union, its subsequent products of the same model must also be changed or amended accordingly, so as to meet the new legal requirements of the European Union.
Mode required for certification
For almost all EU product directives, the directives usually provide manufacturers with several CE certification modes (Modules), manufacturer You can choose the most suitable mode according to your own situation. Generally speaking, CE certification modes can be divided into the following 9 types Basic mode
Mode A: Internal production control (Self declaration) (Module A: Internal Production Control)
Mode Aa: internal production control, plus Third party testing (Module Aa: Intervention of a Notified Body)
Mode B: EC Type test (Module B: EC Type- examination
Mode C: Conformity to Type
Module D: Production Quality Assurance
Mode E: Product quality assurance (Module E: Product Quality Assurance)
Mode F: Product verification (Module F: Product verification)
Mode G: Unit Verification
Mode H: Full Quality Assurance
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.
Self declaration mode or must pass Third party certification authority
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 pass Third party certification authority NB (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 pass Third party certification authority NB (Notified Body) intervention.
In the certification process of other modes other than mode A, at least one certification authority recognized by EU is usually required NB Participate in part or all of the certification process. According to different modes, NB may conduct sample inspection, sampling inspection, factory review, annual inspection, and different Quality system audit , etc. to intervene in the certification process, and issue corresponding test reports, certificates, etc.
There are more than 1200 Certification body Recognized 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 documents It should also be updated in a timely manner.
Technical documents shall generally include the following contents:
A. Manufacturer( Authorized representative of EU (EU authorized agent) AR).
B. Model and number of the product.
D. Safety Design documents (Key Structure diagram , which can reflect the creepage distance, clearance, insulation layer number and thickness a design chart )。
F. Electrical schematic diagram of the product.
G. Products Circuit diagram
H. List of key components or raw materials.
i . Test report (Testing Report)。
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 I medical apparatus and instruments , common IVD In vitro diagnostic medical devices )。
L. CE declaration of conformity (DOC). [2]

Certification fee

CE certification fee Main cause of
CE certification fee It mainly depends on the selected certification body and the relevant directives of the product. different Product testing The projects are also quite different. Generally, the common products are electronic and electrical products. The common test projects are classified into EMC and LVD Instruction. Mechanical products CE certification fee Far higher than ordinary products, it involves factory audit procedures and evaluation.
CE certification fee can apply for development fund subsidy
International market development funds for SMEs Project support includes Product certification As long as the enterprise meets the development funds Project declaration You can apply for project subsidies under the following conditions: Product inspection Testing expenses and other expenses are not supported, the support proportion is 50%, and the maximum amount is 30000 yuan/piece. Product certification must be carried out by a foreign certification company or China CNCA and Industrial and commercial administration Department review , registered branch and authorized agency (only directly authorized). Each product of each enterprise can only be certified once in a country.
Select CE certification body
CE certification is only for products Safety certification , not right product quality Certification. 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 a Conformity assessment It 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 prepare domestic market For 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 pass Test certification The 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.

Certification time

edit
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 do TUV certification We 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 toys Trade 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 or Catalog The 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 12mm typeface The width shall be no less than 1/5.
CE certification
The thickness shall be at least 1/5 of the height (at least 20 × 1/5=4mm here)
As shown in the figure CE Certification, the peripheral radius is 10mm
The inner wall transverse column shall have at least 80% of the peripheral radius (10 × 0.8=8mm)
The picture of CE Certification shows the height of 2cm CE mark For example, the contents of the signs shall include warnings and precautions printed in local market characters. Name, trademark and address of manufacturer or authorized agent, importer. CE conforming to regulations.
The meaning of the CE mark is that the product with the CE mark has passed the corresponding Conformity assessment procedure And/or the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, which complies with the provisions of the relevant European Union directives, and is taken as the product is allowed to enter European Community Marketing pass check Relevant directives requiring CE marking industrial product If there is no CE mark, the product shall not be put on the market for sale. If it is found that the product with the CE mark has entered the market does not meet the safety requirements, it shall be ordered to withdraw from the market. If it continues to violate the provisions of the directive on the CE mark, it will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market. The CE mark is not a quality mark, but a mark representing that the product has complied with European standards and directives on safety/health/environmental protection/hygiene All products sold in the European Union must bear the CE mark
