FAQ — Electrical/electronic goods exported to the EU
1. Is CE self-declaration always allowed?
For many electronics under LVD/EMC, module A self-declaration with proper evidence is common; some categories need notified bodies. Product-specific rules decide.
2. Does BIS replace CE for Europe?
No. BIS is India. CE is EU. Plan both if you sell in both markets.
3. Do I need EMC testing for CE?
Usually yes for electronic products under the EMC Directive — CISPR/IEC based evidence is typical.
4. Can Certko coordinate CE testing?
Yes — we map standards, labs and a document checklist via Instacertify’s desk.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
