CE assessment: start with the requirements for your product

Conformity assessment varies by product. Check the legislation, technical file and assessment route first.

CE conformity assessment varies by product. Manufacturers first identify applicable legislation and product requirements, then determine the assessment, tests and technical documentation needed before affixing the marking. Different products should not automatically use the same test checklist. CE is not a single universal certificate for every product; the need for an independent assessment body also depends on the applicable product rules.
