Technology is developing rapidly. Consequently, the competition environment has very severe conditions. On the one hand, the consumer is no longer the old consumer; getting more and more conscious. All of these require higher quality of production and higher quality products to the market. But at the same time, products, people, animals and living beings do not pose a danger to the safety of life and property, do not cause any harm, care is taken to protect the environment, issues are more emphasized. In this regard, the certification of product quality and reliability has become a must for consumers.

One of the most widely used methods for documenting product safety CE marking It has been. Put on the products CE labelis a label that is valid both in our country and in many countries. It is a document that shows that the product is safe for the user and its importance is increasing day by day.

Today, electrical appliances are one of the indispensable elements of life. All kinds of electric vehicles, from personal care equipment to heaters, from kitchen appliances to general cleaning appliances, are used in homes. These vehicles imported to our country have the CE label. Otherwise it is not allowed to enter customs. In the same way, CE certificate is required for the products produced in our country to be presented to the domestic market or European Union countries.

The European Union has been implementing since 1985 New Approach In this program, products with certain characteristics were grouped together and separate directives were issued for each group and technical requirements of the products were determined. One of these product groups is electrical and electronic devices. For these devices by the European Union Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (Electromagnetic Compatibility, EMC) and Low Voltage Directive (Low Voltage Directive, LVD).

In order to attach the CE label to an electrical product, the manufacturer must first apply to an accredited testing and inspection body from a national or international accreditation body. This organization uses the following standards as a basis for testing and inspection:

  • TS EN 60204-1 standard concerning machine manufacturers (Safety in machinery - Electrical equipment of machines - Part 1: General rules)
  • TS EN 60335-1 standard for home appliances manufacturers (Safety rules - For household and similar electrical appliances - Part 1: General rules)

If different components are used in the design and manufacturing stages of the electrical product and these components are certified by CE criteria, they do not need to be tested separately. Otherwise, these components must also be tested and inspected according to their own standards.

The TÜRCERT certification body primarily focuses on certification studies. However, in addition to these studies, it also offers technical services such as various test and inspection studies. Therefore, if there is a need to get more information about what the CE marking means and how the electrical CE product certification is made, do not hesitate to contact the managers and employees of the TÜRCERT certification body.
