European Certification

EU

CE certificate

CE, abbreviated from the French word "Communate Europpene", means the European Community. The European Community later evolved into the European Union (EU).

In the EU market, “CE” is a compulsory certification directive and is regarded as a passport that manufacturers open and enter the European market. Whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU or a product produced by another country, in order to be freely circulated in the EU market, a “CE” mark must be affixed to indicate that the product complies with the EU Directive on New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standardization. Claim. This is a mandatory requirement for products in EU law. Products bearing the "CE" mark can be sold in EU member states without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus realizing the free circulation of goods within the EU member states. The meaning of the CE mark is that the CE acronym is used to indicate that the product bearing the CE mark complies with the relevant requirements of the European Directive and is used to verify that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and/or manufacturing. The merchant's declaration of conformity truly becomes a passport for the product to be allowed to enter the European Community market. For industrial products that require the CE mark to be affixed to the Directive, if there is no CE mark, it shall not be listed for sale. Products that have been affixed with the CE mark to enter the market. If they fail to meet the safety requirements, they shall be ordered to recover from the market and continue to violate the CE marking requirements of the Directive. Will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market.

The CE mark indicates that the product complies with European regulations or differences. It can be self-declared by the manufacturer in accordance with EU laws and directives. Today, the CE mark is a mandatory mark for entry into the European Economic Area (including the European Union, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein).

Directives
Instructions are statutory requirements for the use of certain categories of products, including basic health and safety requirements. These instructions must be met before the CE mark is posted, but the manufacturer can choose the evaluation method. At present, the EU has issued more than 20 CE directives, and the CE mark is attached to the product to provide technical documentation of the product. This will allow circulation within its market.

Harmonized Standards Harmonized Standards
The easiest way to prove compliance with the directive is through European harmonized standards. If a particular product category meets the harmonized standards, it also indicates that it complies with the corresponding directive specification.

Declaration of conformity Declaring conformity
Many instructions allow manufacturers to self-declare. Some of the directives require the manufacturer to submit the product to a third-party certification body for testing and certification, or to audit the quality system of the certification body.

E-MARK

E-Mark certification is a common market in Europe. For automotive, locomotive and its safety parts, noise and exhaust gas, it is required to comply with the requirements of the European Commission (EEC Directives) and the European Economic Commission (ECE Regulation). A certificate of conformity is granted to ensure the safety of the vehicle and the requirements for environmental protection. According to the EU Directive 2004/104/EC, all automotive electronic and electrical products that are sold in the EU market must pass the e-Mark test and certification, and the e-marks will be marked. The customs of the EU countries will release them and allow them to enter the local market.

Europe has safety certification requirements for motor vehicles and safety-related parts and systems, which are embodied in the E mark and the e mark certification.

The E mark is derived from the Regulations promulgated by the Economic Commisssion of Europe (ECE). Currently, the ECE includes 28 European countries. In addition to EU member states, it also includes non-European countries such as Eastern Europe and Southern Europe. Usually ECE members are willing to receive test reports and certificates that comply with ECE regulations. The products involved in the E-mark certificate are parts and system components. There is no corresponding regulation for vehicle certification. Products that have obtained the E-mark certification are accepted by the market. The E-mark certification implementation testing agency is generally a technical service organization of ECE member states. The issuing authority of the E-mark certificate is the government department of the ECE member countries, and the certificates of each country are correspondingly numbered.

E1-Germany
E2-France
E3-Italy
E4-Netherlands
E5-Sweden
E6-Belgium
E7-Hungary
E8-Czech Republic
E9-Spain

The e-mark is a certification mark for motor vehicles, safety parts and systems used by the European Commission in accordance with EU directives. The testing organization must be a technical service organization within the EU member states, and the issuing authority is the government transportation department of the EU member states. Products that have obtained the e-mark certification will be recognized by all EU member states. As with the E mark certification, the certificates of each member country have corresponding numbers:
E1-Germany
E2-France
E3-Italy
E4-Netherlands
E5-Sweden
E6-Belgium
E7-Hungary
E8-czech
E9-Spain
E10-Yugoslav

For most automotive electronics, the technical requirements for E/e mark are primarily the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of the product. For E mark, the regulation is ECE 10.02 and the e mark is 95/54/EC. The technical requirements of the two are basically the same, and the near field (1m test distance) of the electromagnetic disturbance of the whole vehicle or the vehicle component is required to meet the limits of the broadband and narrowband respectively. At the same time, the components related to vehicle travel control meet the anti-jamming requirements of electromagnetic radiation.

From January 2006, emark's new Directive 2004/104/EC will replace 95/54/EC. The new directive imposes the same restrictions on electromagnetic interference as the old one, but it defines and extends the functional scope of products that require immunity testing.

ENEC

ENEC is an acronym for EUROPEAN NORMS ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATION, which means European standard electrical certification.

ENEC is a voluntary mark that can be used as a substitute for individual European countries to prove that the product has been tested by a third party to confirm compliance with European standards (ENs). The ENEC mark means safety because it is based not only on type testing done by a qualified certification body, but also on the ongoing control of the manufacturer's production process. In addition, the use of the ENEC logo is monitored by European producers and consumer organizations and official testing agencies.

Products covered by the ENEC program include:
●Lighting and accessories
●Transformer
●Switching power supply
● appliance switch
●IT equipment and audio and video equipment
●Automatic electrical control device
●Household appliances
●Connectors, capacitors, filters

Germany

GS

The meaning of GS is German "Geprufte Sicherheit" (safety certified) and "Germany Safety" (German safety). GS certification is a voluntary certification based on the German Product Safety Law (SGS) and tested according to the European Union Standard EN or the German Industrial Standard DIN. It is a recognized German safety certification mark in the European market.

The GS mark indicates that the safety of the product has been tested by an independent agency with credibility. The GS mark, although not legally mandated, does allow manufacturers to be subject to strict German (European) product safety laws in the event of a product failure that causes an accident. So the GS logo is a powerful market tool that enhances customer confidence and desire to buy. Although GS is a German standard, most countries in Europe agree. And while meeting the GS certification, the product will also meet the requirements of the European Community's CE mark. Unlike CE, there is no legal requirement for the GS mark, but since the safety awareness has penetrated the average consumer, an electric appliance with the GS mark may be more competitive in the market than the general product.

The GS mark is a voluntary safety mark in Germany; it is highly valued by consumers. Many products, including power tools, information technology equipment and home appliances, are difficult to sell in or around Germany without the GS mark.

Product evaluation, certification and pre-license inspection
Product evaluation is based on harmonized European standards with reference to low pressure directives, EMC directives and mechanical directives. If the product that meets the GS requirements does not have the relevant European standards, the IEC standard certificate will be issued and the certificate will be valid for five years.

Pre-license inspection is a necessary condition, followed by an annual factory inspection.

In addition to the European Safety Standards and German National Deviations, product evaluations are based on ZEK documents developed by ZEK and documents prepared by the GS1 (Exchange of Experience Forum 1). Some products are subject to ergonomic testing.

According to the ZEK 01-08 document, as of April 1, 2008, products that apply for GS certification must be evaluated by PAHs to comply with regulatory requirements and to avoid health hazards. This mandatory requirement applies to all materials that may contain PAHs that come into contact with the human body or are placed in the inlet cavity under normal use or anticipated reasonable misuse. Products that have received GS certification by April 1, 2008 will need to complete the PAHs assessment by March 31, 2009. The revised version of ZEK 01-08 document ZEK 01.1-08 was published on June 25, 2008 and was implemented. The ergonomic testing required by the German GS mark covers a wide range of IT products, including LCD/CRT display devices, computers, notebook computers, and other computer peripherals (such as keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, etc.). ), all comply with the relevant ergonomic specifications of the EK1-ITB 2000 standard.

Russia

TRCU

TRCU is an abbreviation for “Customs Union Technical Regulations”. In 2010, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus jointly signed the “EACU (Eurasia Customs Union)” and established the “EEU (Eurasian Economic Union)” in 2015. Its member countries adopted a unified conformity assessment procedure. At present, the five member countries of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia have approved the adoption of uniform technical regulations and agreed to coordinate the parties to promote the suspension of national regulations after completing the new regional certification procedures. use.

The adoption of TRCU directly affects all member states. The inconvenience of obtaining a GOST certificate for each country (region) importer/exporter is eliminated for a single customs tariff and a single economic space for the entire member state, and tariffs are exempted within the union.

The TRCU certification process follows a uniform informational evaluation code to verify that the product meets the requirements of the Customs Union. The EAC mark on the certificate refers to Eurasian eligibility, which applies to products certified under the TRCU regulations. TRCU is an official regulation approved by the Alliance to support conformity assessments within Member States.

On the other hand, projects that are not yet included in the TRCU unified list still need to obtain a GOST certificate according to the relevant situation. Therefore, in order to obtain accurate and up-to-date information on product certification, please consult an expert if necessary.
