← Technology WikiCE Certification (Water Purification Products)
CE marking indicates a product meets EU health, safety, and environmental requirements — for water purifiers typically covering the Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, and RoHS.
How it works
- CE is a self-declaration system backed by test reports — but the reports must be real and traceable.
- For electric purifiers: LVD (electrical safety) + EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) are the core directives.
- RoHS (hazardous substances) applies to electrical/electronic components.
- The technical file must be held by the EU importer or authorized representative.
Key specifications
| Core directives (purifiers) | LVD, EMC, RoHS |
| System | Self-declaration + test reports |
| Technical file holder | EU importer / authorized rep |
| Validity | Until design or directives change |
What buyers and QC should check
- Ask for the actual test reports (not just the certificate) and check the lab's accreditation.
- Verify the certificate covers YOUR model — CE is model-specific.
- For private label: clarify who holds the technical file and whether the marking transfers.

Is a CE certificate enough to sell in the EU?
It covers the directives listed on the Declaration of Conformity. Food-contact parts may additionally need EU 10/2011 compliance — check the full requirement list for your product.
