Below, we detail the electric fanWhen exporting metal jewelry to the EU, especially during sample customs clearance, the requirements are often diverse. Especially in the current international environment, the EU has carried out more reviews and supervision of the origin of raw materials. The non - Russian material declaration you mentionedrequirements for CE certification and RoHS testing, as well as the specific application process.

First, completeCE认证. In the EU market, the CE mark is a mandatory certification indicating compliance with the EUs New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standardization directives. Electric fans must undergo CE-EMC and CE-LVD directive testing and may also need to comply with the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD). EMC electromagnetic compatibility testing follows EN55014 and EN61000 standards. If the voltage is between AC 50-1000V or DC 75-1500V, LVD directive testing is required, with EN60335 as the safety standard for electrical appliances.

Next, completeRoHS检测Also known as environmental certification. RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation, which sets limits on hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and phthalates in electrical and electronic products.
