Small home appliances generally refer to home appliances other than high-power output appliances. Generally, these small home appliances occupy relatively small power resources, or the body size is relatively small, so they are called small home appliances. Small appliances exported to the EU generally require CE certification. CE certification is a mandatory safety certification of the European Union. As long as the electrical and electronic products that are charged want to circulate normally in the EU market, they must apply for CE certification.
The necessity of applying for CE certification
CE certification provides a unified technical specification for the trade of products from various countries in the European market and simplifies the trade procedure. To enter the European Union and the European Free Trade Area, the products of any country must be CE certified, and the CE mark should be affixed to the product. Therefore, CE certification is a passport for products to enter the European Union and European Free Trade Zone countries.
CE certification means that the product has met the safety requirements stipulated by the EU directives; it is a commitment of enterprises to consumers, which increases consumers' trust in the product; products affixed with the CE mark will reduce the risk of being sold in the European market.
CE certification requirements for small household appliances
Generally, small household appliances are required to comply with the EMC Directive and LVD Directive of the product.
Small household electrical appliances CE certification EN test standard
EN60335 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances
EN55014-1 Electromagnetic Compatibility. Requirements for household appliances, power tools and similar electrical appliances.
Part 1: Interfering emissions. product standard
EN55014-2 Electromagnetic Compatibility. Requirements for household appliances, power tools and similar electrical appliances.
Part 2: Immunity to interference. product standard
EN61000-3-2 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Part 3-2: Limits. Limit value of harmonic current radiation (equipment input current is 16A/phase)
EN61000-3-3 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Part 3-3: Limits. Limitation of voltage fluctuation and flicker in public low-voltage power supply system (for equipment with rated current less than and equal to 16A)
The standard EMF of the electromagnetic field of household appliances is the English abbreviation of Electromagnetic fields. The test is based on the standard EN 62233:2008.
Main test items for CE certification of small household appliances
1. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): disturbance power, radiation disturbance, terminal disturbance voltage, electrostatic discharge immunity, electromagnetic radiation immunity, conduction immunity, etc.
2. Low voltage part (LVD): harmonic current, voltage fluctuation and flicker, current intensity, instantaneous voltage, etc.
