EU Certification for Indian Exporters: CE, RED, RoHS & REACH

The India–EU trade relationship is growing, but European customs and market-surveillance authorities don’t accept “we’ll sort the paperwork later”. To sell in the EU/EEA, most products need CE marking backed by a technical file. Radio products must meet the Radio Equipment Directive, and electronics and most articles must pass RoHS and REACH chemical rules. PCN prepares the complete package for you.

The EU Economic Operator Rule

Under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, many products must name an economic operator established in the EU (manufacturer, importer, authorised representative or fulfilment service provider) on the product, packaging or documents. We help you decide whether your importer can play this role or whether you need an Authorised Representative.

EU Certification FAQs

Is CE marking issued by an EU authority?

No. CE marking is the manufacturer’s own declaration, supported by a technical file. A Notified Body is involved only for certain products and conformity routes.

Does CE cover the UK?

Great Britain has its own UKCA regime, though CE marking is still accepted there for many product categories. Northern Ireland follows EU rules.

How long does it take?

For LVD/EMC self-declaration, typically 2–6 weeks. Routes with a Notified Body take longer.

Can my Indian test reports be reused?

Often, yes. CB and IEC reports are widely used as evidence for the matching EN standards, provided European differences are covered.

Requirements, portals and fees change often. PCN confirms the applicable rules for each product before quoting. Certificates are issued by the relevant authority, accredited certification body or notified body.
