Стоимость сертификации CE в 2025 году: какие факторы определяют цену?

CE Certification Fees in 2025: What Factors Determine the Price?

One of the most frequently asked questions by manufacturers looking to export products to the European market is, «How much does the CE certificate cost?» As of 2025, the costs for obtaining a CE certificate vary depending on several factors such as the product type, technical requirements, laboratory tests, and certification process.

1. What is the CE Certificate and Why is it Charged?

The CE certificate is an official mark indicating that a product complies with European Union (EU) regulations. However, the process is not just about paperwork. Several steps contribute to the costs, including:

• Product testing and inspections
• Technical file preparation
• Notified Body process (if required)
• Certification and documentation procedures

2. Factors Affecting CE Certification Costs in 2025

2.1 Product Type and Technical Complexity

• Simple products (e.g., textiles) tend to have lower costs, while high-risk products such as machines or medical devices require more extensive testing and evaluations.

2.2 Applicable EU Regulations

The EU regulation that applies to the product plays a crucial role in the process and cost. For example:

• Machine Directive (2006/42/EC)
• Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU)
• EMC Directive (2014/30/EU)
• Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745)

2.3 Testing and Laboratory Costs

• Testing for electrical safety, EMC, RoHS compliance, and mechanical durability varies by product type.
• Some tests can be done in Turkey, while others may need to be conducted abroad, potentially affecting costs due to exchange rates.

2.4 Notified Body Requirement

• Not all products require the involvement of a Notified Body.
• If required, the certification costs increase, and pricing varies depending on the product type.

2.5 Certification Body Pricing Policies

• The fees charged by service providers may vary.
• Some may only review the technical file, while others manage the process from start to finish.

3. Estimated CE Certification Costs in 2025 (Range)

Product Category	Estimated Cost Range (2025)
Simple electrical products	750 — 2,500 EUR
Industrial machines	1,500 — 8,000 EUR
Construction products	1,000 — 15,000 EUR
Toys and children’s products	1,000 — 3,000 EUR

Note: These costs are estimates and may vary depending on the product type and testing requirements.

4. How to Reduce CE Certification Costs?

• Clarify the applicable regulations to avoid unnecessary tests.
• Work with accredited laboratories to prevent test repetitions.
• Prepare a complete technical file to speed up the process.
