CE Certification is commonly associated with demonstrating that certain products meet applicable European Union requirements for health, safety, and environmental protection. It applies to product categories covered by relevant EU legislation, and the exact requirements depend on the type of product. Manufacturers may need to assess applicable standards, identify risks, prepare technical documentation, and complete the required conformity assessment process. Depending on the product, involvement from a notified body may also be required. CE marking can allow qualifying products to be placed on the European market when the applicable requirements have been met. Businesses should first determine which legislation applies to their product because the compliance process can differ significantly between product categories.
