The CE Certificate and the European Market

CE Marking and the European Market: How to Make Your Product Compliant?

One of the most critical requirements for the free movement of products in European Union (EU) countries is carrying the CE mark. So, what is the CE mark, why is it so important, and what steps should you take to make your product suitable for the European market? Here are the answers to these questions and the professional solutions we offer at SERTİFIKÉ.

What is the CE Mark and Why is it Necessary?

The CE mark indicates that a product complies with the European Union’s health, safety, and environmental protection standards. This mark:

Provides assurance to consumers,
Allows products to circulate freely within EU countries,
Offers manufacturers a competitive advantage in international markets.

Products without the CE mark can be banned in the European market or face severe penalties.

Steps to Make Your Product Suitable for the European Market

To obtain the CE mark for a product, you must follow these essential steps:

Identify Your Product Category and Relevant Directives

The CE mark does not apply to all products; it is relevant only to specific product groups. For example:

Low Voltage Directive (LVD) for electrical products,
Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) for machinery and equipment,
Toy Safety Directive for toys.

Conformity Assessment Process
A technical evaluation must be conducted to determine if your product meets the relevant directives. This process includes:

Product testing,
Risk assessment,
Technical file preparation.

Preparation of the Technical File and User Manual
Documents required for CE marking include:

Technical drawings,
Applied standards,
Test reports,
User instructions.

Prepare the Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
This is an official document in which the manufacturer declares that their product complies with EU directives.
