EU Compliance & Standards: Your Roadmap to the Single Market
Gaining access to the European Union market requires more than just a great product—it requires proof of safety and compliance. Whether you are dealing with low-voltage electronics, heavy machinery, or medical devices, use our comprehensive guides below to find your path to CE Marking.
Harmonised Standards (hEN)
The “fast lane” to EU compliance. These are the only standards that offer a legal Presumption of Conformity with EU Directives. Essential for Quality Managers and Regulatory Affairs.
CEN Standards (Mechanical)
From construction materials to medical devices and PPE. CEN sets the technical rules for almost every sector except electrotechnical. Learn the difference between EN and ISO standards.
CENELEC Standards (Electrical)
If your product has a wire, a battery, or a plug, it falls under CENELEC. Learn how to align IEC standards with European “Annex Z” requirements for LVD and EMC compliance.
CE Marking Step-by-Step
A mandatory requirement for most products sold in the EEA. This practical guide walks you through the 6 essential steps, from identifying directives to signing the Declaration of Conformity.
Why Buy Official European Standards?
Compliance is binary: you are either compliant, or you are not. Using outdated, “preview,” or incorrect versions of standards puts your entire supply chain at risk.
