What certifications are mandatory for export to Europe (EU Countries)
for electronic products

- working on 12 volt car battery
- to be fitted inside an automobile
- related to autogas industry

Is CE required ?

It depends on the product. The CE mark mandatory for certain product
categories. The EC directives that detail which products will be on the web
somewhere. You can bet that anything electronic or child related must
comply.

The best advice is to ask one of the test houses for a short meeting to
discuss whats required. If they tell you that you need a particular test let
them give you a quote. You could also ask your customers... Many importers
will insist on a CE mark (even if not mandatory) as a way of mitigating any
liability they might have for a product that later turns out to have a
safety defect.

The CE mark generally indicates compliance will all EC standards that are
"relevant to that product". The problem is working out which EEC standards
are relevant. There are safety standards and EMC standards for example and
they are different for each product category. Even dynamite can carry a CE
mark. Ten years ago I worked on getting computers CE approved. Typically
back then our products needed to comply with EN55022 (EMC) and EN60950
(safety).

I once came accross a product that carried the CE mark but which clearly did
not comply. Contacted the firm and they admitted that they hadn't been able
to get their product to comply.... ironically the product was an expensive
bit of test equipment we were using to test our own product for CE
compliance. We got out money back.
