China export standards for European Union (CE)

The European Union's conformity framework centres on CE marking, which is mandated across a wide range of product directives and regulations — including the Low Voltage Directive, Machinery Directive, Radio Equipment Directive, Medical Device Regulation, and the Battery Regulation, among others. For manufacturers exporting from China, CE marking typically requires technical documentation, conformity assessment by a notified body for higher-risk categories, and an EU-authorised representative. The pages linked below compare Chinese national standards with the applicable EU requirements across each product category, covering testing, certification bodies, and key compliance differences.
