Gain access to the European Market with our CE Marking services
TÜV SÜD provides CE marking testing to manufacturers of products in the UK and around the world. Our CE certification services have helped numerous companies access European markets. We can also create technical documentation to show that your products are compliant and meet EU health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.
CE stands for Conformité Européenne, which translates from French to English as ‘European Conformity’. CE marking states that a product meets the requirements of all applicable EU directives and can be sold in all EU Member States without any additional technical or regulatory requirements. While for some products, CE marking can be carried out by the manufacturer themselves, other products must be tested by a company that offers CE marking services. TÜV SÜD provides companies around the world with CE mark testing and can also create technical documentation that shows your products are compliant.
CE marking is a European conformity label which ensures your products can enter the European Union. It also allows free movement of goods throughout the nearly 30 countries that make up the European Economic Area, giving you direct access to over 500 million consumers. If a product is required to display a CE mark is found not to have one, the manufacturer or distributor could be fined and face expensive product recall – so CE compliance is essential.

• Identify the EU directives that are relevant to your product. The CE marking is required for products falling within the scope of specific directives such as the Machine Directive, Low Voltage Directive, and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. Thoroughly understand the conformity requirements outlined in the applicable directives. Familiarise yourself with the essential health and safety requirements, technical standards, and performance criteria that your product must meet.
• Perform the necessary testing and assessment procedures to verify your product's compliance with the applicable directives. This may involve laboratory testing, risk assessments, and analysis of technical documentation. In some cases, involvement of a notified body may be required for certain product categories.
• Prepare comprehensive technical documentation that demonstrates your product's conformity with the applicable directives. This documentation should include design specifications, test reports, user manuals, and any other relevant information. The technical documentation serves as evidence of compliance and should be readily available for review.
• Issue a Declaration of Conformity, which is a written statement by the manufacturer declaring that the product meets all relevant requirements.
• Once you have ensured compliance with the applicable directives and compiled the necessary documentation, affix the CE Mark on your product, packaging, or accompanying documentation. By affixing the CE Mark, you are declaring that your product meets the essential requirements of the relevant directives and is compliant with EU regulations.
• Remember to maintain and update your technical documentation regularly, conduct periodic assessments, and stay informed about any changes in the applicable directives or regulations.
