The CE mark involves 80% of the industrial and consumer goods in the European market, and 70% of the EU imported products. According to EU law, CE certification is a compulsory certification. Therefore, if the products do not pass the CE certification but hastily exported to the EU, it will be considered as an illegal act and will be severely punished.
Taking France as an example, the possible consequences are:
1.The product cannot pass the customs;
2.It is detained and confiscated;
3.It faces a fine of 5,000 pounds;
4.It withdraws from the market and recalls all products in use;
5.It is investigated for criminal responsibility；
6.Notify the EU and other consequences;
Therefore, before exporting, enterprises must apply for relevant test reports and certificates according to export laws and regulations. There are different EU CE directives for different products. If you have testing needs, or want to know more standard details, please contact us.
