CE certification is the "main requirement" that constitutes the core of European directives. In the European Community's Resolution on New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standardization (85/C136/01) of May 7, 1985, the "main requirement" for the purpose of developing and implementing directives has a specific meaning, which is limited to the basic safety requirements of products that do not endanger the safety of humans, animals, and goods, rather than general quality requirements. The coordination directive only specifies the main requirements, while the general directive requirements are the task of standards. If the product meets the main requirements of relevant directives, it can be affixed with the CE mark, instead of determining whether the CE mark can be used according to the general quality regulations of relevant standards.
Therefore, the accurate meaning is that the CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark.
It is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market, and any product with the "CE" mark can be sold within each member state of the European Union without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus achieving free circulation of goods within the EU member states.
The word CE is derived from the abbreviation of the French word 'Communate Europppene', which means European Community. The European Community later evolved into the European Union (EU).

The meaning of CE:
The "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark in the EU market. Whether it is products produced by enterprises within the EU or products produced in other countries, in order to freely circulate in the EU market, the "CE" mark must be affixed to indicate that the product meets the basic requirements of the EU's "New Methods for Technical Coordination and Standardization" directive. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.
In the past, European Community countries had different requirements for imported and sold products, and goods manufactured according to one country's standards were likely to be unable to be marketed in other countries. As part of efforts to eliminate trade barriers, CE emerged. Therefore, CE represents European Unity (CONFORMITE EUROPERNNE).
In fact, CE is still an abbreviation for the phrase "European Community" in many languages of the European Community. Originally, the English phrase EUROPEAN COMMUNITY was abbreviated as EC, but later it was changed to CE as COMMUNATE EUROPEA in French, COMUNITA EUROPEA in Italian, COMUNIDADE EUROPEA in Portuguese, and COMUNIDADE EUROPEA in Spanish. Of course, CE can also be regarded as CONFORMITY WITH EUROPEAN (DEMAND), which meets the needs of Europe.

The meaning of CE mark:
The significance of the CE mark is to use the abbreviation CE as a symbol to indicate that products bearing the CE mark comply with the essential requirements of relevant European directives, and to confirm that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and/or the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, truly becoming a pass for the product to be allowed to enter the European Community market for sale.
Industrial products that are required by the directive to bear the CE mark shall not be put on the market without the CE mark. Products that have already been marked with the CE mark and entered the market shall be ordered to be withdrawn from the market if they do not meet safety requirements. Those who continue to violate the provisions of the directive regarding the CE mark will be restricted or banned from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market.
The CE mark is not a quality mark, it is a mark representing that the product has complied with European safety/health/environmental/hygiene standards and directives All products sold in the European Union must be mandatory to bear the CE mark

The necessity of applying for CE certification:
CE certification provides unified technical specifications and simplifies trade procedures for products from various countries in the European market. Products from any country entering the European Union or the European Free Trade Area must undergo CE certification and affix the CE mark on the product. Therefore, CE certification is the passport for products to enter the markets of the European Union and European Free Trade Area countries.
CE certification indicates that the product has met the safety requirements specified in EU directives; It is a commitment made by enterprises to consumers, which increases their trust in the product; Products with CE markings will reduce the risk of sales in the European market. These risks include:
The risk of being detained and investigated by customs;
The risk of being investigated and punished by market supervision agencies;
Risk of being accused by peers for competitive purposes.

The benefits of applying for CE certification:
The EU's laws, regulations, and coordination standards are not only numerous, but also complex in content. Therefore, obtaining assistance from EU designated institutions is a wise move that saves time, effort, and reduces risks;
Obtaining a CE certification from an EU designated agency can maximize the trust of consumers and market supervision agencies;
Can effectively prevent the occurrence of irresponsible accusations;
In the face of litigation, the CE certification certificate issued by the EU designated agency will become legally binding technical evidence;

Scope of application of CE certification:
Both the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) countries require the CE mark. As of January 2022, the EU has 27 member states, including:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden

This paragraph mainly states that the CE mark should be scaled proportionally according to the mark shown in the figure.

When scaling the CE mark proportionally, it is necessary to ensure that its minimum height is not less than 5mm.
The CE mark should be affixed near the name of the nearest manufacturer or its authorized representative, and should use the same process as the name.

Technical documents required for CE certification:
1. The name and address of the manufacturer (EU authorized representative (EU authorized agent) AR), the name and model of the product, etc;
2. Product user manual;
3. Safety design documents (including key structural diagrams, which can reflect the climbing distance, gap, insulation layer and thickness of the design drawings);
4. Product technical conditions (or enterprise standards), establish technical documentation;
5. Product electrical schematics, block diagrams, and circuit diagrams, etc;
6. List of key components or raw materials (please select products with European certification marks);
7. Testing Report;
8. Relevant certificates issued by the EU authorized certification body NB (for modes other than Mode A);
9. Registration certificate of the product within the European Union (for certain products such as Class I medical devices and general IVD in vitro diagnostic medical devices);
10. CE Declaration of Conformity (DOC);
