CE certification helps manufacturers demonstrate that applicable products meet relevant European Union requirements for health, safety, and environmental protection. The conformity assessment process generally involves identifying applicable legislation and standards, conducting risk assessments, performing required testing, preparing technical documentation, and completing the appropriate conformity assessment procedures. Where required, manufacturers also prepare an EU Declaration of Conformity and affix the CE marking to the product. CE certification can apply to various product categories, including machinery, medical devices, electrical equipment, and other regulated products. It can support market access, demonstrate compliance, improve product safety, strengthen documentation practices, and build confidence among customers and business partners.
