CE-marking sourcing
Sourcing that requires CE marking for the European Economic Area. Confirm suppliers hold the technical file, declaration of conformity and (where required) notified-body certificates under the relevant harmonised standards.
Buyer concerns
- Is CE a self-declaration or does it need a notified body, and do the EN standards match the product?
- Are the technical file (TCF), declaration of conformity (DoC) and labelling complete and traceable?

FAQ
Is CE marking mandatory, and how is it obtained?
CE is the legal access mark for the European Economic Area. The process typically covers: identify applicable directives & harmonised standards, conformity assessment, compile the technical file & declaration of conformity, and affix the CE mark; some higher-risk products require a notified body.
How do I verify CE during procurement?
Request the declaration of conformity (DoC) and matching test / certification documents, confirm the standard version matches the model, and check the CE label and traceability.
