Get CE Marking / CE Certification Support for EU Market Access

CE marking is a conformity marking used for products covered by specific European Union (EU) harmonisation legislation. When a manufacturer affixes the CE mark, it declares that the product complies with the applicable EU legal requirements relevant to that product.

CE marking is product-specific, not a general company certificate. It is required only where EU legislation requires it — and must not be used merely as a general quality symbol.

Overview

CE Marking Is Product-Specific EU Conformity

The CE mark indicates that the manufacturer has completed the applicable conformity-assessment process and declares conformity with the relevant EU requirements. It is not a general quality certificate for a company.

Manufacturer Responsibility

The manufacturer is responsible for identifying applicable legislation, completing conformity assessment, preparing technical documentation and issuing the EU Declaration of Conformity.

Not a Universal Certificate

There is no central EU body that grants a universal CE certificate. A generic voluntary certificate does not automatically establish CE compliance.

Notified Body Where Required

Some products require third-party assessment by a designated Notified Body. Whether one is needed depends on the product and applicable legislation.

Product Description & Specifications

Drawings & Design Information

Risk Assessment & Test Reports

User Instructions & Labels

Clear Distinction

CE Marking vs ISO Certification

Related in some contexts but fundamentally different.

Feature	ISO Certification	CE Marking
Nature	Management-system or standard certification	Product conformity with applicable EU legislation
Focus	Organization’s processes / system	Specific product and its legal requirements
Issuer	Accredited certification body	Manufacturer declares; Notified Body where required
Scope	Often organization-wide	Product-specific
Market effect	Supports quality / management credibility	Enables placement of covered products on the EU market

An ISO certificate does not automatically provide CE compliance. CE marking does not automatically mean the manufacturer is ISO 9001 certified.

What You Receive

The manufacturer remains legally responsible for the conformity of the product. Where third-party assessment is required, the relevant Notified Body performs the legally mandated assessment.
