CE certification, that is, only the product does not endanger the basic safety requirements of human, animal and goods safety, rather than the general quality requirements, the coordination directive only specifies the main requirements, the general directive requirements are standard tasks. Therefore, the exact meaning is that the CE mark is a safety pass mark and not a quality pass mark. It is the "main requirement" that constitutes the core of the European Directive.
The “CE” mark is a safety certification mark and is regarded as a passport that the manufacturer opens and enters the European market. CE stands for CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE.
In the EU market, the “CE” mark is a compulsory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU or a product produced by another country, in order to freely circulate in the EU market, the “CE” mark must be affixed to indicate the product. It meets the basic requirements of the EU Directive on Technology Coordination and Standardization. This is a mandatory requirement for products in EU law.
CE certification issuing agency
(a) Declaration of conformity/Declaration of compliance issued by the company. This certificate is a self-declaration and should not be issued by a third party (intermediary or testing and certification body). Therefore, it can be in EU format. The company's Declaration of Conformity is replaced.
(b) Certificate of compliance/Certificate of compliance, this is a declaration of conformity issued by a third-party testing agency (such as Fornas testing), and must be accompanied by technical information such as test report TCF. Sign the Declaration of Conformity.
(c) EC Attestation of conformity, a certificate issued by the Notified Body (NB), in accordance with EU regulations, only NB is eligible to issue a CE statement for EC Type.
CE authentication mode
Generally speaking, the CE authentication mode can be divided into the following nine basic modes: Module A: internal production control
Mode A: Internal Production Control (self-declaration) Module Aa: intervention of a Notified Body
Mode Aa: Internal production control, plus third party detection Module B: EC type-examination
Mode B: EC type test Communication product CE certification Module C: conformity to type
Mode C: Compliance Type D: production quality assurance
Mode D: Production Quality Assurance Module E: product quality assurance
Mode E: Product Quality Assurance Module F: product verification
Mode F: Product Verification Module G: unit verification
Mode G: Unit Verification Module H: full quality assurance
Mode H: Total Quality Assurance Based on the different combinations of the above basic modes, several other different modes may be derived. In general, not all models are available for all products. In other words, it is not the manufacturer that can choose any of the above modes to CE certification of its products.
The self-declaration model may have to pass a third-party testing agency with a lower Risk Level (Minimal Risk) EU product directives that allow manufacturers of products with lower Risk Levels (Minimal Risk) in certain categories to Mode A: CE certification for the “internal production control (self-declaration)” approach. Products with a higher level of risk must be intervened by a third-party certification body, NB (Notified Body). For products with a higher risk level, the manufacturer must select a mode other than mode A, or mode A plus other modes to achieve CE certification. In other words, it must be intervened by a third-party testing organization, NB (Notified Body).

The need to apply for CE certification
CE certification provides a unified technical specification for trade of products in the European market and simplifies trade procedures. To enter the EU and the European Free Trade Zone, products of any country must be CE-certified and CE marked on the product. Therefore, CE certification is a passport for products entering the EU and European Free Trade Zone countries.
CE certification indicates that the product has met the safety requirements of the EU Directive; it is a commitment of the company to consumers, increasing the level of consumer trust in the product; products marked with CE mark will reduce the risk of sales in the European market. These risks include:
The risk of being detained and investigated by the customs;
The risk of being investigated by the market surveillance agency;
The risk of being accused by competitors for competitive purposes.
Benefits of applying for CE certification
1. The EU's laws, regulations and harmonized standards are not only numerous but also complex in content. Therefore, obtaining assistance from the designated institutions of the European Union is a wise move that saves time, effort and reduces risks.
2. Obtain CE certification from the designated body of the European Union to maximize the trust of consumers and market surveillance agencies;
3. Effectively prevent the occurrence of irresponsible allegations;
4. In the case of litigation, the CE certification of the EU notified body will become technical evidence with legal effect.
