Product importers
Your product. Your responsibility. Our expertise.
For products covered by CE marking legislation, the manufacturer is responsible for demonstrating conformity. Identify the applicable requirements early, assess the risks and prepare the required technical documentation, instructions and declaration.
Choose components that are suitable for their intended use and obtain the relevant supplier evidence. A CE mark on a component does not establish conformity of the finished product. Not every component requires its own CE marking.
easyCE carries out the assessment and documentation work your project needs, from individual tasks to the full process.
We work across machinery, construction products, production lines, energy systems, vehicle equipment, PPE, medical devices and consumer products and toys.
Know your responsibilities before putting a product into use.
As a product owner or user, check that the product is safe and suitable for its intended use. Review the relevant marking, instructions and conformity documentation before purchase or use. Where products are used at work, workplace safety obligations remain separate from the product conformity assessment.
Making products for your own use, combining them into a new system or substantially modifying a product can bring manufacturer responsibilities. Whether these responsibilities apply depends on the product category, the changes and the relevant legislation. Using or combining products does not automatically create a new CE marking obligation.
We review your product and supplier documentation, assess changes and integration risks, and prepare the conformity documents for the agreed scope.
Get the product and paperwork ready for your destination market.
Exporting a product does not, by itself, determine who is legally responsible for CE marking. For products entering the EEA, clarify the roles of the manufacturer, importer and any required EU-based economic operator before shipment.
Check the applicable product requirements, assessment route, marking and language requirements. CE marking is not a universal approval for markets outside the EEA; destination-market rules must also be considered.
easyCE identifies the relevant requirements, reviews the available evidence and prepares the agreed conformity documentation. We help you resolve gaps before they hold up your delivery.
Check conformity before importing your product.
Before placing products from outside the EEA on the EEA market, importers must fulfil the obligations set by the relevant product legislation. Check that the manufacturer has completed the required conformity assessment and that the marking, declaration, instructions and traceability information are correct.
Arrange access to the technical documentation for the authorities where required. The complete technical file does not normally have to travel with every product. Instructions must meet the destination market's language requirements. Selling under your own name or making relevant modifications can bring manufacturer responsibilities.
Our engineers review supplier documentation, identify missing evidence and carry out the agreed assessment and documentation work. You get a clear picture of what your product needs before it reaches the market.

Frequently asked questions
Which products need CE marking?
CE marking is required only for products covered by EU legislation that specifically requires it. Your product's design, intended use and functions determine which rules apply. CE marking must not be affixed to products outside those rules, even though other safety requirements may still apply. easyCE identifies the applicable requirements and establishes the right conformity assessment route for your product before you invest in testing or documentation.
Which directives and regulations apply to my product?
A product can fall under several directives or regulations at the same time. Its functions, materials and intended environment determine the requirements. Depending on the product, these may include the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. Electrical products may also fall within the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. easyCE checks each framework's scope and exclusions, then brings the applicable requirements together in one coordinated assessment.
Who is responsible for product conformity?
The manufacturer is responsible for demonstrating that the product meets the applicable requirements. Importers and distributors have their own duties, including checking the required marking and documentation. Selling a product under your own name or making significant changes can bring manufacturer responsibilities, depending on the applicable legislation.
Establish your role before ordering, modifying or supplying the product. That determines which assessments, documents and traceability information you must provide or verify. easyCE clarifies your responsibilities and carries out the assessment and documentation your project needs, including preparation for CE marking where required.
What happens if a product is modified or rebuilt?
A modification can affect a product's safety, intended use or compliance. Whether a new conformity assessment is needed depends on the changes, their effect on risks and the applicable legal requirements. A repair or replacement does not automatically trigger a new CE marking process.
Review changes to materials, components, software, performance and protective measures against the original assessment. Existing test reports may no longer cover the modified product. easyCE assesses the changes, identifies any additional evidence needed and updates the relevant documentation.
What documentation does my product need?
The documentation must show how your product meets the applicable requirements. Depending on the product, this includes a product description, design information, risk assessment, calculations, test reports and instructions. The required declaration and marking information also depend on the product legislation; there is no single document package that fits every product.
The evidence must match the actual product, including its variants and supplied components. easyCE reviews existing documents, prepares missing assessments and brings the technical evidence together. You receive a structured handover, including the applicable declaration ready for the responsible signatory once the required assessment is complete.
Which standards and tests does my product need?
Relevant standards and tests depend on your product's intended use, technologies and risks. A test plan for one product cannot simply be reused for another. Harmonised standards can provide a presumption of conformity for the requirements they cover when their references are published in the EU Official Journal, subject to any restrictions. easyCE selects the relevant standards, reviews existing test evidence and defines the additional assessments your product needs. Where specialist testing is required, we coordinate it with a suitable laboratory.
Where can I find more answers about CE marking?
Visit our CE marking FAQ for guidance on responsibilities, risk assessment and affixing the CE marking. For questions about your own product, contact easyCE for clear advice on the next steps.
What is the difference between CE marking and CE certification?
CE marking is not a universal third-party certificate. The applicable product legislation determines the assessment procedure and whether a notified body must be involved.
A certificate may form part of the required evidence, but it does not replace the manufacturer's responsibility for compliance. easyCE carries out the agreed assessment and documentation work and coordinates with a notified body where required. We do not issue a universal "CE certificate".
What is the difference between CE marking and CE testing?
Testing can be an important part of conformity assessment, but it is not the whole process. A test report alone does not establish compliance with every requirement applicable to a product.
easyCE identifies the assessments and tests your product needs, reviews the available evidence and prepares the technical documentation. Where specialist testing is required, we coordinate the work with a suitable laboratory.
What is the difference between CE marking and CE approval?
CE marking is not a general approval issued by a central EU authority. It indicates that the manufacturer has met the applicable CE marking requirements.
The required assessment, declarations and any third-party involvement depend on the product. easyCE establishes the relevant process and prepares the evidence and documentation needed before the product is placed on the market or put into service, where applicable.
What is the difference between CE marking and CE acceptance?
A customer's acceptance of a delivered product is different from CE compliance. A contractual acceptance inspection does not replace the required conformity assessment.
easyCE reviews your product's compliance status, identifies missing evidence and completes the agreed documentation work. We also help you prepare clear technical answers when a customer raises questions about CE marking.
