CE marking is not just a sticker you apply yourself, but a process from scope to declaration. We handle this entirely for you. Or step in where you get stuck.
One wrong assumption in step 1 affects the entire process. That is why we go through every step in a structured way, so you save time and prevent costly mistakes.
We investigate the nature, purpose, and sector of your product and determine which EU directive(s) or regulation(s) apply. The essential requirements differ per legislation, so from here, we set the right course.
We identify the standards that specify the technical requirements for your product. If you meet them, you are presumed to conform, which significantly simplifies the process.
We determine all legal requirements for your product and your market. Then we perform a risk analysis that reveals the risks. We also check if other legislation applies alongside the CE requirements.
Testing requires expertise and specialized equipment. We have our own laboratory in China, close to where your product is made. That saves shipping time and costs, with a test report usually available within ten working days.
We bundle all documentation regarding the design, construction, operation, test results, and conformity of your product, plus all certificates. You keep the file for ten years and keep it available for the regulatory authority.
You apply the CE marking and sign the EU declaration of conformity. By doing so, you as the manufacturer confirm that your product meets all applicable EU directives. Your product is ready for the European market.
