CE marking
CE marking consultant for electronics
CE marking for electronic products, designed in from day one
We help hardware teams plan, design and document CE marking so the lab visit becomes a confirmation, not a discovery. EMC, safety and radio under one plan.
Short intake first. We review every project before scheduling.
CE marking is not a stamp you buy at the end. It is a chain of decisions that starts at architecture and ends with a complete technical file. We work alongside your team across that chain, so the directives that apply to your product (EMC, LVD, RED) are accounted for before the first schematic is committed.
Who it's for
Hardware teams placing an electronic product on the EU market for the first time, and teams that have failed a CE campaign and need a clean route forward.
What you get
A directive and standards map, a CE plan, design reviews focused on the path to compliance, pre-compliance measurements and a complete technical construction file.
How we work
Short, written engagements with our engineering team. We start from your target market and intended use, work backwards into the design, and run pre-compliance early enough that fixes are still cheap.
How it works
01
Scope the directives
We confirm intended use, target users and which directives apply (EMC, LVD, RED, RoHS, REACH) and build the standards map.
02
Design review
Audit of architecture, schematic and layout against the chosen standards, with a prioritised list of gaps to close before the lab visit.
03
Pre-compliance
Targeted EMC, safety and radio measurements so issues are found and fixed while changes are still cheap.
04
Technical file & DoC
We assemble the technical construction file and prepare the Declaration of Conformity for your authorised signatory.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does CE marking take for an electronic product?
- For a typical product, plan three to six months from design freeze to a granted Declaration of Conformity, depending on how many directives apply and whether pre-compliance surfaces design changes. Starting CE planning at architecture cuts this materially.
- Do I need a Notified Body for CE marking?
- Most electronic products self-declare under the EMC, LVD and RED directives — no Notified Body is involved. A Notified Body is only required for specific RED articles, medical devices, machinery in certain categories and a few other regulated areas. We confirm the route for your product upfront.
- What is the difference between CE marking and EU Declaration of Conformity?
- The CE mark is the physical mark you affix to your product. The EU Declaration of Conformity is the signed legal document that lists every directive and harmonised standard your product complies with, and that authorises the CE mark. You need both, and the DoC is what authorities ask to see.
- Can you handle CE marking for a product that already failed at a lab?
- Yes. We diagnose the failure against the relevant harmonised standard, design the remediation, run pre-compliance to validate it, and prepare the technical file for the re-test campaign.
- Do you cover UKCA on top of CE?
- Yes. UKCA is technically very close to CE for electronics, and we cover both routes in the same engagement when the product targets the UK.
