CE certification helps manufacturers demonstrate that applicable products meet relevant European Union requirements for health, safety, and environmental protection. The process generally involves identifying applicable legislation and standards, conducting risk assessments, completing required testing or evaluations, preparing technical documentation, and following the appropriate conformity assessment procedure. Where required, manufacturers may prepare an EU Declaration of Conformity and affix the CE marking to the product. CE requirements can apply to machinery, medical devices, electrical equipment, and other regulated products. Following the applicable CE process can support regulatory compliance, market access, product safety, proper documentation, and customer confidence.
