CE certification
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2012 1:00 pm
Hi all,
I'm looking to sell something I've designed and have started manufacturing, and in looking at CE certification for European distribution, I'm not finding any specific information on exactly what to test for. I've looked at all of the directives that apply, and I understand that I can "self-certify" by making a declaration of conformity, but nowhere on the European Commission website do they list the actual numbers one needs to hit. Specifically, I'm looking at EMC, LV (low voltage), and RoHS compliance.
I simply can not afford to go to a lab and pay upwards of $10K for the above testing and certification. I was hoping that if I could see the actual data of what they're measuring, I could measure myself and make my declaration. Does anyone know where I can get these spec's? What do other small pro audio manufacturers (Like Roger's FCS) do to conform?
Thanks,
Scott Greiner
