EU CE Certification

In the past, EC countries had different requirements for imported and sold products. Commodities manufactured according to one country's standards could not be listed in other countries. As part of efforts to eliminate trade barriers, CE certification came into being. Therefore, CE certification represents the European Union (CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE). In fact, CE certification is also the abbreviation of the phrase "EC" in many EC languages. It was originally used in English.

The phrase EUROPEAN COMMUNITY is abbreviated as EC, since the EC is COMMUNATE EUROPEIA in French, COMUNITA EUROPEA in Italian and COMUNIDADE in Portuguese.

EUROPEIA, Spanish for COMUNIDADE EUROPE and so on, so EC to CE. Certainly, CE certification can also be regarded as CONFORMITY WITH EUROPEAN (DEMAND) [in line with European requirements].

Who grants CE certification marks?

CE certification marks shall not be issued by any official authority, certification authority or test laboratory, but by the manufacturer or its agent in accordance with one of the eight modes mentioned above.

Make and paste by yourself.

Who is responsible for the correctness of CE certification marks?

Manufacturers or their agents, or importers from EU member states, must be responsible for the correctness of CE certification marks.

Who is the recipient of CE certification mark?

The acceptance of CE certification marks is for the national regulatory authorities of EC member states responsible for the implementation of market product safety control, not for customers. When a product has been attached with CE certification marks, the member states are responsible for sales safety.

The supervisory authority should assume that it meets the main requirements of the Directive and can circulate freely in the EC market.

The significance of CE certification marks lies in:

The abbreviations of CE certification are used as symbols to indicate that the product with CE certification marks meets the main requirements of the relevant European Directive (Essential Requirements) and to confirm that the product has passed the corresponding requirements.

The conformity assessment procedure and/or the manufacturer's declaration of conformity really become the passport for products to be allowed to enter the EC market for sale. There is no CE certification mark for industrial products requiring CE certification marks.

Those who wish to enter the market with CE certification marks and find that they do not meet the safety requirements shall be ordered to withdraw from the market. Those who continue to violate the relevant CE certification marks stipulated in the directive will be limited.

Restrict or prohibit access to the EU market or be forced to withdraw from the market.

What are the modes for manufacturers to choose to use CE certification marks?

At present, the European Union has approved the use of CE certification marks in the following eight modes:

(1) Factory self-control and certification.

Module A (Internal Production Control):

1. For simple, large-scale, harmless products, only applicable to manufacturers manufactured according to European standards.

2. The factory conducts self-assessment and self-declaration.

3. Technical documents are submitted to the state organs for ten years. On this basis, the product can be assessed and inspected to determine whether the product meets the instructions or not. The producer even has to provide the design, production and group of the product.

Loading process for inspection.

4. There is no need to declare that the production process can always ensure that the product meets the requirements.

Module Ab:

1. The manufacturer did not produce according to European standards.

2. The testing organization makes random test for special parts of the product. (2) Assessment by testing institutions.

Module B (EC type review):

The factory sends samples and technical documents to the testing organization it chooses for evaluation, and the testing organization issues certificates.

Note: Only B is not enough to constitute the use of CE certification.

Module C (consistent with type [sample]) +B:

The factory makes a declaration of consistency (consistent with the certified form) and the declaration is kept for ten years.

Module D (Quality Control of Production Process)+B:

This model focuses on the production process and final product control. The factory produces according to the method approved by the testing organization (quality system, EN29003). On this basis, it declares its product and certification type.

Formula consistency (consistency statement).

Module E (Product Quality Control) +B:

This model only focuses on final product control (EN29003), the rest with Module D.

Module F (Product Testing) +B:

After the factory ensures that its production process can ensure that the product meets the requirements, make a consistent statement. Accredited testing institutions verify the conformity of their products through full or sample inspection.

Certificates are issued by testing institutions.

Module G (test by test):

The factory declares that it meets the requirements of the instructions and submits the technical parameters of the products to the testing organization, which will issue certificates after checking the products one by one.

Module H (Integrated Quality Control):

This model focuses on design, production process and final product control (EN29001). The rest is the same as Module D + Module E. Among them, mode F + B,

Model G is suitable for products with high risk.

Does CE Certification Mark Have the Meaning of Certifying Quality Qualification

"Major Requirements", which form the core of the European Directive, in the European Community on 7 May 1985 (85/C136/01)

The Resolution on New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standards has a specific meaning for the "main requirements" that need to be used as the purpose of formulating and implementing directives, i.e. products that do not endanger humans, animals and goods.

The basic safety requirements for safety are not general quality requirements. The coordination instructions only specify the main requirements. The general instruction requirements are standard tasks. The product meets the main requirements of relevant instructions.

It is possible to attach CE certification marks without deciding whether CE certification marks can be used according to the general quality requirements of relevant standards. Therefore, the exact meaning is: CE certification mark is a safety qualification mark rather than a quality qualification mark.

A kite with CE certification does not mean that it can fly well, but only that it meets safety requirements.

What is CE Certification Mark?

In recent years, more and more CE certification marks have been used in the commodities sold in the market of the European Economic Zone. The commodities with CE certification marks indicate that they are safe.

Requirements expressed in a series of European directives on health, environmental protection and consumer protection.

Main Steps of CE Authentication Marking

(1) Design products to meet the requirements of relevant product safety standards

(2) Establishment of technical data (TCF) (i.e. specific information displayed to confirm that the product has met the basic safety requirements of the relevant CE certification instructions)

(3) Implementing quality assurance system

(4) Certification or self-declaration of conformity by an approved certification authority (CE certification label may be attached only after certain products are approved by the approved certification authority)

(5) Attach CE certification label

Is CE certification conformance statement in standard format?

Directives do not specify a fixed format, but many certification bodies have designed their own fixed format.

What legal procedures do you need to go through to use CE certification marks?

The manufacturer may follow the following main steps:

1. In accordance with the requirements of the Directive on the mode of conformity assessment to be adopted for the use of CE certification marks, the principles of conformity assessment and Council Directive 93/465/EEC,

Choose the appropriate mode among several authentication modes.

2. To adopt self-assessment or apply for third-party assessment or compulsory application for accreditation of certification bodies under the EC Notification Procedure as required by the Directive

After the evaluation, the consistency statement of the manufacturer's self-evaluation and/or the CE certification certificate of the accredited certification body are prepared as the precondition for the use of CE certification marks.

3. The manufacturer shall make or attach CE certification marks and additional information specified in the relevant instructions after passing the conformity assessment of the prescribed model.

4. The relevant directives stipulate that when the identification number of the Accreditation Authority is attached to the CE certification mark, it shall be attached by the Accreditation Authority which carries out the conformity assessment by itself.

Or authorize the manufacturer or its agent in the European Community to be responsible for the attachment. For particularly dangerous products, the directive stipulates that mandatory accreditation bodies conduct product sample testing and/or

If the quality system is approved, the evaluation and approval shall be obtained before the use of CE certification marks can be approved.
