European authorities use special labeling on goods to protect consumers in the EU against low-quality products. That is why all goods that have been imported in the EU must be labeled with the CE mark.
To successfully pass certification and get CE marking, characteristics and parameters of all goods must conform to the standards of the European Union. Products with the CE mark are safe for people, do not adversely affect health and life in general. Moreover, these products are not harmful to nature and wildlife. Products with the CE mark are freely transported and sold in the EU. Such marking is recognized worldwide.
The main steps of certification and getting the CE mark
A huge number of goods have to be certified such as:
- Toys;
- Gas equipment;
- Cars;
- Mechanisms;
- Water heating equipment;
- Medical implants;
- Electrical and electronic devices.
The CE marking is a complicated procedure that consists of the following main steps:
- Determination of product category

- Determination of the EU standards that the declared product meets
- Check-up for conformity with the regulations of the Directives
- Check-up for the necessity of an independent assessment
- Preparation of technical documentation, risk analysis

Certification is required for every business owner entering the European market. Only goods with the CE mark may be imported to the European market.
