Before You Start CE Marking, Read This Story

Let me tell you a story that could easily be yours.

Isabel works at a small company in northern Spain with an innovative home-automation product. One day her boss asked her to take care of CE Marking. No one from the technical team wanted to handle it.

Isabel, who was in charge of logistics, had to accept.

And she had no idea where to start.

She tried to hire a consultant, but her boss refused: “our product is simple and we use certified components, nothing can go wrong.”

They started requesting quotes from different laboratories. Each one recommended a different set of tests.
They went along with it, ended up running more tests than necessary, and the months kept passing.

Meanwhile, the product was selling well in Spain and across the EU.

One day Isabel realized something important: despite all those test reports, she still didn’t know how to prepare a valid CE Declaration of Conformity.
By then, almost a full year had passed since the first tests began.

She asked the labs for help: some said it wasn’t their job, others sent incomplete or incorrect drafts.
It felt as if no one understood the product.

The real problem came when they exported to the UK and Turkey.
Both Customs authorities rejected the CE Declaration.
Costs, delays, complications.

Only then did her boss agree to hire a consultant.
He brought order to the chaos. And today Isabel exports worldwide without issues.

She still finds it surprising that in many countries it is easier for them to demonstrate conformity than in Europe itself.

…

Now imagine this story isn’t about Isabel from Spain, but about Catherine in Massachusetts.
Or Jeff in Missouri.
Or you.

Will you have a full year to obtain a CE Declaration of Conformity that can pass an EU customs check?
When your European importer tells you that 70% of your technical file is missing, will you know how to produce it?

We will.
