This critical step will help determine any obvious and major shortcomings of the equipment design for CE Compliance. With E-Review, we¡¯ll be able to look at your products together, cutting unnecessary steps out of the process for your CE Mark project.

Selection of Standards
Next, we need to know which Standards and CE Directives will apply to your equipment. It could be a combination of EN, IEC and other European or other International Standards your product will need to comply with to meet Electrical, Electromagnetic Compatability, Machinery, Low Voltage or Medical Device Directive regulations for Europe.
