How long is the European CE certification? What are the differences between GS and CE?

The testing time in China is relatively fast, while the real certification body recognized by the European Union takes a little longer. The selection of the certification body should also refer to the requirements of customers and their own needs. For example, if the other company specifies to do TUV certification, it should be done according to the requirements of customers. If it is a large multinational enterprise and wants to build a world-class brand, then TUV certification is completely in line with its own situation. At this stage, the certificates issued by domestic institutions can also be recognized by the European Union. There are also certification institutions that have acquired the European Union. CE certification generally takes 5 working days.

EU Directives

The EU has implemented a system to protect the health of consumers and workers, the state and environment of goods. Under this new system, the EU and some EFTA countries have formulated EC directives. To ensure that the products meet the standards of safety and quality.

By harmonizing the standards, countries apply uniform assessment procedures and acceptance conditions, thus reducing the number of repeated tests and individual submissions by countries.

In 1994, the European Union/European Community and the European Free Trade Association jointly established the European Economic Area, which is the largest economic area in the world. The participating countries include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
