Why is authentication required?

CE marking is required to legally sell products on the European market.
We verify product safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), wireless performance, specific area of exposure (SAR), and electrical safety.
Distribution without certification may result in administrative sanctions such as sales bans, recalls, and fines.

Point 01  

Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

The product does not emit harmful electromagnetic waves,
Guaranteed to operate normally even under external interference

Point 02  

Compliance with the Wireless Device Directive (RED)

Efficient use of wireless spectrum and
Meets human safety (SAR) standards
Ensure communication performance and stability

Point 03  

Ensuring consumer safety and market trust

Through electromagnetic wave safety verification
Protecting consumer rights and enhancing trust

Point 04  

Within the European Single Market
free circulation

The CE mark is a prerequisite for entering the European market.
Prevent legal risks such as sales bans and recalls

Point 05  

Low Voltage Directive (LVD) compliance

Ensuring the electrical safety of electronic products

 
 
 
 

Related laws

For wireless products, the following criteria apply:
The applicable guidelines vary depending on the product type, and multiple guidelines may apply simultaneously.

RED (2014/53/EU) Guidelines for equipment with wireless transmission and reception capabilities
RoHS Directive Restrictions on the use of hazardous substances (Annex I target devices)
LVD (2014/35/EU) Guidelines for protecting against electric shock and other electrical hazards when using electrical equipment within specific voltage ranges.
EMCD (2014/30/EU) Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines

Types and procedures of authentication

Notified Body
(NB)
Approval through

A European Notified Body (NB) examines and certifies part or all of a product.

Target product examples
Failure to fully or partially implement the Harmonized Standard in the wireless field (non-standard designs, new technologies, etc.)
Authentication process
Step 1  

Application for certification

  • Confirm product specifications with HCT representative (discuss certification type, purpose, etc.)
  • Copy of business registration certificate
  • Product manual (with photos)
  • Send quotation
Step 2  

Test progress

Step 4  

Certificate issuance

  • Certificate issuance
  • Payment of fees
Self-Declaration
Declaration of Self-Compatibility

After the manufacturer conducts its own testing, it prepares a Declaration of Conformity (DoC).Attach the CE mark

Target product examples
If all Harmonized Standards are met, SDoC can proceed.
