Essential Certifications and Application Process for Exporting Electric Fans to EU Markets

With improving living standards, electric fans are increasingly used in industrial, commercial, restaurant, travel, and household settings. In daily life, people often need portable electric fans to cool down during hot weather. If your company wants to export electric fans to the EU market, certain certifications are required. Below, we detail the electric fanWhen exporting metal jewelry to the EU, especially during sample customs clearance, the requirements are often diverse. Especially in the current international environment, the EU has carried out more reviews and supervision of the origin of raw materials. The non - Russian material declaration you mentionedrequirements for CE certification and RoHS testing, as well as the specific application process.

First, completeCE CertificationIn the EU market, the CE mark is a mandatory certification indicating compliance with the basic requirements of the EUs New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standardization directives. Electric fans need to complete CE-EMC and CE-LVD directive tests, and can also comply with the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD). EMC electromagnetic compatibility testing standards are EN55014 and EN61000. For voltages between AC 50-1000V or DC 75-1500V, the LVD directive applies, with EN60335 as the safety standard for electronic appliances.

Next, completeRoHS testingAlso known as environmental certification. RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation, which sets limits on hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and phthalates in electrical and electronic products.

The manufacturer submits an application
Fill out the CE marking application form
Submit relevant technical documents and confirm the quotation
Send samples for testing, pay the certification fees, and await product testing and technical document review [Technical document review includes: whether the documents are complete; whether the documents are written in an official EU language (English, German, or French)]
If improvements are needed, make modifications based on the laboratorys feedback and pay the rectification fees
Finally, obtain the test report or technical documents, CE compliance certificate, and CE mark, then affix the CE label to the product

Find a qualified and capable third-party accredited laboratory
Fill out the RoHS test application form
Send the samples to the laboratory
Pay the testing fees and await the test results.

Before sending products for testing, the manufacturer needs to disassemble and package the products in detail, marking the product name and number on each package. Products made of metal, plastic, and other materials require different tests. The entire process requires close collaboration between the manufacturer and the laboratory to ensure the products meet EU safety and environmental requirements, thereby smoothly entering the EU market.
