For CE marking, products must comply with the essential requirements laid down in each directive to which the product is subject (e.g. Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, etc.).
No test is imposed, but it is the safest and most recognized way of ensuring product conformity with essential requirements.
Tests are defined in the harmonized standards associated with the directives.
NEXIO proposes a step-by-step approach, starting with the most risky events (e.g. interference radiated by the product for EMC).
This is followed later by less risky events.
If the product is not non-compliant, it will take at least one month.
The documentation required is defined in each directive.
As much detail as possible must be provided on product design, proof of conformity and risk management for goods and people.
The safest and most recognized way of ensuring product conformity with essential requirements is to carry out the tests defined in the harmonized standards associated with the directives.
Of course, it all depends on the country and the product, so it’s difficult to give a general answer.
You need to keep an eye on regulations and standards, and make sure that new requirements or prescriptions do not apply to a future product launch.
Failure to comply with CE certification requirements for your product may result in severe regulatory penalties.
In particular, the person responsible for signing the EU Declaration of Conformity may be liable to imprisonment.
These tests will check for interference emitted and experienced by the products, as well as verifying that the radio spectrum is being used correctly.
Ideally, pre-qualification tests should be carried out as early as possible in the design phases to identify any non-conformities.
These tests should identify any product “non-conformities” as early as possible, and resolve them at a time when the design can still be modified.
The tests carried out must be as close as possible to those defined in the test standards.
A limitation or exclusion can be indicated in the product leaflet.
Alternatively, the product design should be modified to ensure that this modification will not impact on other tests or analyses carried out.
All products placed on the European Union market must bear the CE mark, regardless of their origin.
Exported products must comply with the regulations of the destination country.
The product must comply with the essential requirements laid down in each directive to which it is subject (e.g. Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, etc.).
The essential requirements are then set out in harmonized standards, which describe the possible tests and analyses to be carried out on the product.
These tests and analyses are used to assess the impact on product design.
A regulatory and standards watch must be carried out to ensure that new requirements or prescriptions do not apply to future product launches.
CE marking must be taken into account right from the product design stage, in particular by carrying out pre-qualification tests on the first prototypes.
These tests should make it possible to identify any product “non-conformities” as early as possible, and to resolve them at a time when it is still possible to modify the design.
