CE certified EN60947-1 contactor relay, time relay, transfer switch, foot switch, limit switch, button switch, reverse switch, temperature switch, pressure switch, liquid level switch, auxiliary contact assembly, microswitch

CE certification is limited to basic safety requirements for products that do not pose a threat to human, animal, and commodity safety, rather than general quality requirements. Coordinated directives only specify primary requirements, while general directive requirements are standard tasks. The "CE" mark in the EU market is a mandatory certification mark. Whether it is products produced by our internal enterprises or products produced in other countries, in order to freely circulate in the EU market, it is necessary to attach the "CE" mark to indicate that the product meets the basic requirements of the EU's "New Methods for Technical Coordination and Standardization" directive. This is a mandatory requirement of EU law for products.

（1） The advantages of CE certification for enterprises

1. The laws, regulations, and coordinated standards of the European Union are not only numerous in quantity, but also very complex in content. Therefore, obtaining the assistance of EU regulatory bodies is a wise move that saves time, effort, and reduces risks;

2. Obtaining CE certification from EU designated institutions can maximize the trust of consumers and market supervision agencies;

3. Effectively prevent the occurrence of irresponsible accusations; CE certification, limit switch CE certification, EN60947-1

4. In the face of litigation, the CE certification certificate of the EU designated agency will become legally binding technical evidence; Once punished by EU countries, the certification body will share the risk with the enterprise.

（2） CE certified EN60947-1 contactor relay, time relay, transfer switch, foot switch, limit switch, button switch, reverse switch, temperature switch, pressure switch, liquid level switch, auxiliary contact component, microswitch Scope of use:

EN60947-1 applies (when required by relevant product standards) to switchgear and control equipment (hereinafter referred to as "electrical appliances"), which are used to connect circuits with a rated voltage of AC not exceeding 1000V or DC not exceeding 1500V.

The EN60947-1 standard is not applicable to low-voltage switchgear and control equipment specified in EN60439-1.

The purpose of EN60947-1 standard is to specify the basic rules and requirements shared by switchgear and control equipment, including:

1. Definition;

2. Characteristics;

3. Relevant information on electrical appliances;

4. Normal usage, installation, and transportation conditions;

5. Structural and performance requirements;

6. Characteristics and performance verification.

（3） CE certification process:

CE certification is a necessary safety certification for products to enter the EU market, and the CE certification process is the procedural process for products to undergo CE certification. In CE certification, the EC Attention of conformity certificate can be issued by the EU notified body, while the Certificate of Compliance/Certificate of conformity certificate can be issued by a third-party laboratory. The CE certification process for the two types of certificates is different.

Authentication mode

Applicable coverage products

Step 1: Determine the directives and coordination standards that the product complies with

Products covered by more than 20 instructions require CE marking. These instructions cover different ranges of products and list the basic requirements for the covered products. The EU Harmonized Standards are detailed technical documents used to guide products in meeting the basic requirements of the Directive.

Step 2: Determine the detailed requirements that the product should meet

You must ensure that your product meets the basic requirements of relevant EU laws. A product is considered to meet the relevant basic requirements only when it meets the requirements of all applicable coordination standards. The application of coordinated standards is entirely voluntary, and you can also choose other ways to meet the corresponding basic requirements.

Step 3: Determine whether the product needs to be inspected by a notified body

Each directive involved in your product has detailed regulations on whether third-party announcement agencies need to participate in CE audits. Not all products require mandatory certification by the notified body, so it is crucial to determine whether the involvement of the notified body is truly necessary. These notified bodies are all authorized by the European Commission and have a detailed list in the archives of NANDO (New Method Directive notified bodies and designated bodies). Step 4: Test the product and verify its compliance

Manufacturers are responsible for testing their products and checking their compliance with EU regulations (compliance assessment process). Risk assessment is the fundamental rule in the assessment process, and only after meeting the requirements of relevant EU coordination standards can you possibly meet the basic requirements of EU official regulations.

Step 5: Draft and save the technical documents required by the instructions

Manufacturers must establish technical documentation (TCF) for their products based on the requirements of the directive and the need for risk assessment. If required by the relevant authorized department, the manufacturer must submit the technical documents and EC conformity declaration together for inspection.

Step 6: Attach the CE mark to your product and make an EC Declaration of Conformity

The CE mark must be affixed to the product by the manufacturer or their authorized representative. The CE mark must be clearly and permanently affixed to the product or its nameplate according to its standard drawing. If the notified body participates in product certification, the CE mark must bear the notified body's announcement number. Manufacturers are obliged to draft an EC conformity declaration and sign it to prove that the product meets CE requirements.

After the above six steps, your product with the CE mark can smoothly circulate in the European market.
