Experts in the EMC Directive. EMC Technologies is an CE EMC Directive Notified Body!
CE testing and CE approval can be complicated and expensive. EMC Technologies can provide expert guidance and support. We are a notified body for the EMC directive.
Region: Europe and EFTA Countries
Regulator: European Commission
Description: Electrical and electronic products sold in the European market must be CE marked. The application of the CE mark requires compliance with various European directives depending on the type of product. Commonly applied EU Directives include EMC, electrical safety (LVD), Radio Equipment Directive (RED), Machinery Directive and Medical Devices.
Legal Requirements:
- The product must be tested to relevant harmonised standards. Most products require comprehensive emissions and immunity testing.
- Relevant test reports shall be held by the supplier as evidence of compliance to the harmonised standards/directives
- Suppliers must complete and sign a Declaration of Conformity Statement which lists all the applicable directives and harmonised standards which the product complies with
- The CE mark must be affixed to the product.
- For certain equipment/standards a notified body must sign-off on the test reports
- NATA test reports are highly recommended to ensure report acceptance, otherwise products may have to be re-tested locally by an accredited laboratory

CE marking Radio Equipment Directive (RED) replaced the R&TTE Directive on June 13, 2017
Radio testing, EMC testing, EMR/EME testing, Safety testing
Compliance with the European RED requires radio specific intentional transmitter/receiver testing, EMC testing, EMF (human exposure) testing and safety testing. The Official Journal lists various product family and generic standards which radio (and radio integrated) devices must comply with. From June 13, 2017 only harmonised standards listed under the RED may be used. Trouble is, ETSI has not yet republished the entire suite of standards so what does one do? Call us!! EMC Technologies is a member of the RED Compliance Association along with all EU Notified Bodies. We will give you the best advice.

Description: Radio and wireless products sold in the European market must be CE marked. The product must comply with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED). The RED requires specific transmitter and receiver tests e.g. transmit power, spurious emissions, bandwidth) along with various EMC emissions and immunity tests. Under the RED, all radio receivers must comply with the RED.
CE Directives can be found here.
Legal Requirements:
- The product must be tested to relevant RED harmonised standards.
- Relevant test reports shall be held by the supplier as evidence of compliance to the harmonised standards/directives
