CE Marking is a mandatory European Conformity mark indicating that a product complies with all applicable EU directives. It is required for 25 product categories before sale in the European Union and EEA countries.
CE Marking through self-declaration typically takes 10-20 days including testing and documentation. Notified Body assessment for high-risk products like medical devices can take 8-16 weeks depending on category.
Over 25 product directive categories require CE Marking including electronics (LVD/EMC/RED), toys (Toy Safety Directive), medical devices (MDR), PPE, construction products, machinery, gas appliances and pressure equipment.
No, CE Marking is a regulatory conformity mark indicating compliance with EU health, safety and environmental directives. It is not a quality assurance mark and does not replace voluntary quality certifications like ISO 9001.
For low-risk products under self-declaration routes, no Notified Body is required. High-risk categories like medical devices, PPE Category III and pressure equipment require Notified Body assessment and an EU-type examination certificate.
CE Marking is for EU/EEA market access. UKCA Marking is the post-Brexit equivalent required for sale in Great Britain. Northern Ireland continues to accept CE marking under the Northern Ireland Protocol.
An EU Declaration of Conformity is a signed document by the manufacturer declaring that the product meets all applicable EU directives and harmonized standards. It must be kept available for 10 years from product placement.
CE Marking with self-declaration starts from ₹14,999 in Gujarat. Notified Body assessment adds testing, audit and certificate costs depending on the product category and directive.
