In the EU market, the CE mark is a mandatory certification mark. Whether products produced by enterprises within the EU or products produced in other countries want to circulate freely in the EU market, they must be affixed with the CE mark to indicate that the products meet the basic requirements of the EU's New Method for Technical Coordination and Standardization. This is a mandatory requirement of EU laws on products.

What commodities need CE certification？

The CE mark is only applicable to the product items covered by the Directive. If the product is not regulated by the EU Directive, the CE mark is not required. Some directives will list the excluded products, and some directives do not mention whether the CE mark is applicable in the future. If your product falls within the scope of the above directives, you need to consider the CE mark, carry out necessary testing and approval, and prepare relevant documents.
