What are the main costs of European CE certification?

The main reason for the cost of CE certification

The cost of CE certification mainly depends on the selected certification authority and the relevant directives of the product. Different product test items are also different. Generally, common products are electronic and electrical products. Common test items are classified into EMC and LVD directives. The cost of CE certification of mechanical products is much higher than that of ordinary products, which involves the process and evaluation of factory audit.

CE certification fee can be applied for development fund subsidy

The support content of the international market development fund project for small and medium-sized enterprises includes the product certification project. As long as the enterprise meets the application conditions for the development fund project, it can apply for the project subsidy. The support content is the product inspection and testing expenses, and other expenses are not supported. The support proportion is 50%, and the maximum amount is 30000 yuan/piece. Product certification must be carried out by a foreign certification company or a branch and authorized agency (only directly authorized) approved and registered by the China Certification and Accreditation Administration and the administrative department for industry and commerce. Each enterprise only supports one certification for each product in one country.

Select CE certification body

CE certification is only the product safety certification, not the product quality certification. Therefore, there is little difference between TUV and other European certification bodies, and domestic certification bodies can also issue CE certification.

CE certification is a kind of conformity assessment, which is generally in the form of self declaration and certification by certification bodies.

CE certification fee and product directive

Some products require only LVD certification for CE certification, but customers specify that EMC instructions must be made, and there is a cost gap between the two. For CE certification, some customers are ready to sell in the domestic market. The purpose of CE certification is to publicize their products, so they can choose a command at will. CE certification stipulates that its products can freely circulate in the market of EU member countries, and requires that all the directives contained in its products can be affixed with CE marks after passing the test and certification. CE certification for electrical appliances generally requires that LVD and EMC also include mechanical instructions. Therefore, the cost is completely different. The CE certification selection instructions should also refer to the customer's opinions and the product's own situation.
