CE marking for electrical appliances sorted! It's easy with our help.
The CE marking and conformity assessment of an electrical appliance is the crucial step in ensuring that the electrical appliance complies with the applicable European (safety) requirements. The CE mark indicates that the product complies with the relevant EU directives and may therefore be freely traded within the European Economic Area.
Legal basis for CE marking for electrical appliances:
- EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU for the electromagnetic compatibility of machinery
- Radio-Directive 2014/53/EU for requirements regarding control via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.
- Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
- ROHS-Directive 2011/65/EU for requirements regarding the avoidance of hazardous substances
easyCE helps you understand the legal requirements your electrical appliance must meet and helps you ensure that all requirements and tests are complied with.
The CE marking process
- risk assessment – Identification and assessment of potential hazards.
- Compliance with relevant directives and harmonised standards – Examination of technical requirements.
- Preparation of technical documentation – Proof of compliance with the specifications.
- Issuing an EU declaration of conformity – Official statement from the manufacturer.
- Affixing of the CE marking – As soon as all requirements are met.
Compliance with these regulations is not only a legal requirement, but also serves to ensure the safety of operators and the smooth operation of the electrical appliance.
RoHS compliance certificate for electrical equipment
RoHS compliance certification ensures that your electrical device complies with legal restrictions on hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium and mercury. We support you in testing, documenting and preparing all necessary evidence to ensure that your product complies with the requirements of the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
We support you in ensuring that your electrical equipment is RoHS compliant and meets Directive 2014/53/EU. Find more detailed information on our page on the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for requirements regarding the avoidance of hazardous substances.
RED-relevant documents for radio equipment
RED-compliant documentation is essential for products with radio functionality. Radio functions include WLAN, i.e. Wi-Fi modules, but also Bluetooth and other modules. The following must then be ensured for the electrical device:
- Radio specifications: frequency ranges, power ratings and radio protocols.
- EMC certification: Testing of electromagnetic compatibility in accordance with harmonised standards.
- SAR calculations: Proof of radiation exposure from mobile radio devices.
- Interoperability: Ensuring functionality with other devices.
We will assist you in compiling these documents so that your product complies with Directive 2014/53/EU and becomes marketable. Find out more about the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU here.
EMC certificates for electromagnetic compatibility
The EMC certificates document that your product complies with the requirements of the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. They show that the device operates without interference and does not affect other devices.
We support you in carrying out the tests, preparing the technical documentation and the correct EU declaration of conformity in order to successfully obtain the CE marking. Obtain EMC Directive 2014/30/EU for the electromagnetic compatibility of machinery

What you need to consider when CE marking your electrical appliances
AS A MANUFACTURER OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
CE AS AN OPERATOR OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
CE AS AN EXPORTER OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
CE AS AN IMPORTER OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Manufacturers of electrical appliances are always responsible for creating and providing proof of CE marking, except in special cases.
We advise manufacturers to familiarise themselves with the applicable regulations in advance. Take into account the framework conditions from standards and, in particular, the Low Voltage and EMC Directives during development in order to avoid the additional expense of adapting to prove conformity. Ensure lean and efficient proof of conformity by installing marked components in your electrical equipment. Bear in mind that correct operating instructions in the respective national language are a central component of product conformity. If you, as a manufacturer, are not the distributor, we nevertheless recommend that you only offer electrical appliances with complete CE marking for competitive reasons.
The experts at easyCE will be happy to help you prepare the documentation for CE conformity, which includes product analysis, risk assessment, the type plate and the final declaration of conformity. We also check your operating instructions and their contents for conformity or create operating instructions for you that are compliant and tailored to your electrical appliances.
Operators always have the obligation to provide CE certification and, in some cases, are also responsible for creating the CE marking.
Operators may only use CE-marked electrical equipment, as they must ensure that their employees work with compliant and safe electrical equipment. This also applies to used and old electrical equipment. We therefore advise operators to only purchase CE-marked electrical equipment or to carry out CE marking when purchasing. Operators are then responsible for the CE marking themselves if they combine individual elements or electrical appliances (CE marking requirement for the resulting combination). Even if operators manufacture electrical appliances for their own use, they are still subject to the CE marking requirement.
The experts at easyCE are available to answer any questions you may have about conformity. Do you have doubts about the CE conformity of electrical equipment you have purchased or are planning to purchase? easyCE will be happy to check the CE documentation for you.
Exporters are usually responsible for providing proof of CE marking.
If you export electrical equipment to a country in the European Economic Area and the electrical equipment is only transferred to your customer after importation, you are responsible for CE marking. We advise exporters to be prepared to demonstrate product compliance with all applicable regulations to customs and other regulatory authorities. For competitive reasons, we also always advise exporters to take responsibility for the CE marking of exported electrical appliances. If you export an electrical appliance to the United Kingdom, we will be happy to help you achieve UKCA compliance.
The experts at easyCE will be happy to assist you in preparing or reviewing the conformity assessment documentation, which includes product analysis, risk assessment, type plate and the final declaration of conformity. We also check your operating instructions and their contents for conformity.
Importers are at least responsible for providing proof of CE marking.
If you import electrical equipment from a third country into a country in the European Economic Area, you are responsible for ensuring that the electrical equipment bears a CE mark and complies with all applicable directives and standards. You must be able to prove this to customs and other supervisory authorities, otherwise the import may be stopped at your expense. You should therefore obtain all necessary documentation for all product components and proof of correct conformity assessment from the manufacturer prior to import. Depending on the contractual agreement, the importer may also be responsible for creating the CE marking. Please note that a correct instruction manual in the respective national language is also part of product conformity.
The experts at easyCE will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have about compiling the documents for conformity assessment, which include product analysis, risk assessment, type plate and the final declaration of conformity. We will also check your operating instructions and their contents for conformity.
