What is CE certification? Which organization issues the certificate for CE? CE certification is limited to the basic safety requirements of products that do not endanger the safety of human beings, animals and goods, rather than the general quality requirements. The coordination directive only stipulates the main requirements, and the general directive requirements are the standard tasks. Therefore, the accurate meaning is that the CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark. It is the "main requirement" that constitutes the core of the European Directive.

The "CE" mark is a safety certification mark, which is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. CE stands for European Unification.

The "CE" mark is a compulsory certification mark in the EU market. No matter the products produced by enterprises within the EU or by other countries, if they want to circulate freely in the EU market, they must be affixed with the "CE" mark to show that the products comply with the basic requirements of the EU Directive "New Methods for Technical Coordination and Standardization". This is a mandatory requirement of EU laws for products.


CE issuing authority

(1) The Declaration of Conformity/Declaration of Compliance independently issued by the enterprise is a self-declaration and should not be issued by a third party agency (intermediary or testing and certification agency). Therefore, it can be replaced by the enterprise's Declaration of Conformity in the EU format.

(2) Certificate of compliance/Certificate of compliance, which is a declaration of compliance issued by a third party agency (intermediary or test certification agency), must be accompanied by technical data such as test report TCF, and the enterprise must also sign the Declaration of Compliance.

(3) EC Attestation of Conformity Certificate of EU Standards, which is issued by the Notified Body (NB). According to EU regulations, only NB is qualified to issue EC Type CE declaration.
