Testing
EMC testing
The CE Marking is a mandatory regulatory requirement for the marketing of products in the domestic and non-domestic market in the European Union. The CE Marking indicates that a product meets allegedly the directives that apply to the equipment in question. A "directive application" or " directive" is a set of restrictive rules that the CEE established by several European standards agencies such as CEN, CENELEC, etc. For example, for electrical equipment designed to be used within certain restricted power voltage. Similarly, the CE marking ensures that the manufacturer has taken all reasonable steps to ensure compliance with them in each of the products sold. Therefore, both the manufacturer and the product meet the essential requirements indicated in the related directives.
The CE marking is necessary because it indicates to governmental officials that the product may be legally placed on the market in their country. Also, CE Marking on a product ensures the free movement of the product within the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) & European Union (EU) single market (total 28 countries), and CE Marking on a product permits the withdrawal of the non-conforming products by customs and enforcement/vigilance authorities.
