CE Certification
We provide end-to-end support for CE Certification, ensuring your products comply with applicable EU directives and standards for smooth and timely market access across Europe.
Introduction to CE Certification
CE Certification, formally known as Conformité Européenne (CE) Marking, is a mandatory conformity marking for products intended for sale within the European Economic Area (EEA). It confirms that the product complies with all applicable European Union directives and regulations, specifically relating to health, safety, and environmental protection requirements, thereby enabling free movement within the internal market.
Penalties and Risks for Non-Compliance
Under applicable EU directives, manufacturers, importers, or distributors who fail to comply with CE marking obligations may face enforcement actions by Market Surveillance Authorities.
Administrative Fines
Significant financial penalties for placing non-compliant products on the EU market, with severity varying by Member State.
Product Recall
Non-compliant products may be withdrawn from market, recalled from users, or banned from EU sales.
Sales Suspension
Authorities may suspend marketing, sales, or distribution until full compliance is achieved.
Enhanced Surveillance
Increased inspections, monitoring, and potential public notifications affecting brand reputation.
