CE certification for audio, video and similar electronic equipment EN 60065:2014

This process applies to all products covered by CE certification:

Step 1: Determine the instructions and harmonized standards for product compliance.

 Products covered by more than 20 instructions require a CE mark. These instructions cover a wide range of products, and the instructions list the basic requirements of the products covered.

Step 2: Determine the detailed requirements for your product.

You must ensure that your products meet the basic requirements of relevant EU laws.

Step 3: If the product needs to be notified by the notified body

Each instruction involved your product has detailed requirements for whether or not a third-party notified body , which must require to participate in the CE review. Not all products are mandatory to pass the notified body certification, so it is very important to determine whether it is really necessary to participate in the notified body. These notified bodies are authorized by the European Commission and have a detailed 

list in the files of NANDO (New Method Directives and Designated Agencies).

Step 4: Test the product and verify its compliance

It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to test the product and check that it complies with the EU regulations (conformity assessment process). The risk assessment is the basic rule in the evaluation process. After meeting the requirements of the relevant EU harmonized standards, you are likely to meet the basic requirements of EU official regulations.

Step 5: Draft and save the technical documents required by the directive.

The manufacturer must establish a technical documentation (TCF) of the product based on the requirements of the product and the requirements of the risk assessment. If requested by the relevant authority, the manufacturer must submit the technical documentation and the EC Declaration of Conformity together for inspection.

Step 6: Affix the CE mark on your product and make an EC Declaration of Conformity.

The CE mark must be affixed to the product by the manufacturer or its authorized representative. The CE mark must be clearly and permanently attached to the product or its nameplate in accordance with its standard drawings. If the notified body participates in the certification of the product, the CE mark must carry the announcement number of the notified body. The manufacturer is obliged to draft an EC Declaration of Conformity and sign it to prove that the product meets the CE requirements.
