The CE Certification Process Explained

How to Obtain a CE Certification for Your Product
How to Obtain a CE Certification?
Obtaining a CE Certification is an essential process that verifies a product's compliance with European Union (EU) directives and standards. This certification ensures that the product meets safety, health, and environmental requirements. Regardless of the location in Turkey where the application is made, the essential steps to obtain a CE Certification are as follows:
Identification of Directives: The initial step is to identify the relevant EU directive or regulation for the product. For instance, toys may fall under EN 71 standards, while electrical equipment could comply with EN 60204.
Conformity Assessment: Conducting the necessary tests is critical to determine whether the product aligns with the required standards. Tests may include electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), physical durability, or chemical tests.
Preparation of Technical Documentation: A technical file that contains all the product's details must be prepared. This file includes the product’s design, test results, risk analysis, and user instructions.
Declaration of Conformity (DoC): Once the technical file is ready, the manufacturer must prepare a Declaration of Conformity. This declaration states that the product adheres to the relevant standards.
Application to an Accredited Certification Body: The final step involves submitting the product for evaluation by an accredited body, which will then issue the CE Certification.
