What does it mean to be CE compliant?

Manufacturers use the CE marking to show that their product meets the regulations and directives of the European Union (EU) regarding health, safety, and environmental protection. Products with the CE marking can be freely sold in the European Economic Area (EEA). It acts as a trade passport, allowing products to be placed in any EU member state’s market without restrictions as long as they comply with the regulations. Twenty-four directives determine which products require CE marking. These directives have different requirements, and a single product may need to comply with several of them. Products that may require CE marking include electronics, medical devices, toys, household refrigerators and freezers, personal protective equipment, and radio and telecommunications terminal equipment.

Unlike other certification marks, a single authorizing body or organization does not grant CE certification. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that the CE marking is used correctly and that their products comply with all relevant directives and regulations.

To affix a CE marking, manufacturers must follow these steps:

Identify the applicable directives and harmonized standards.
Verify the specific product requirements.
Collect relevant supply chain data to create necessary technical files.
Determine if an independent conformity assessment by a notified body is needed.
Test the product and confirm its conformity.
Create and maintain all necessary technical documentation.
Affix the CE marking and draw an EU Declaration of Conformity.

CE certification is essential for manufacturers and importers who want to sell their products in the EEA market. The CE marking acts as a trade passport within the European marketplace, allowing certified products to be freely circulated within the 30 countries of the EEA. It has replaced previous national regulations with a single set of harmonized regulations, eliminating the need to adapt products to the specific requirements of individual EEA member states. The CE marking simplifies compliance requirements for manufacturers selling or importing products in the EU. Products like our SMW-102 Semi Automatic mug wrapping system.
