What is a CE Certificate and CE declaration of conformity — basic concepts

The CE Certificate is the official recognition that a product complies with the European Union’s requirements regarding safety, health protection, and the environment. The CE Declaration of Conformity is a document prepared by the manufacturer or its authorized representative to confirm that the product meets all applicable directives or regulations, including harmonized standards. Without this document, the product cannot be legally placed on the EU/Polish market.

Question

What requirements and regulations apply to products for CE marking in Poland?

Answer

Determining the relevant directive or regulation (for example, Machinery Directive, EMC, LVD, ATEX, etc.) depending on the type of product; standards detailing technical requirements — it is crucial to select the correct ones. Requirements regarding safety, health, ecology, energy efficiency, noise, etc. The Polish Act on the conformity assessment system also applies.

The conformity assessment process — step by step

Product analysis: classification, properties, risks.
Determining whether the involvement of a notified body is required — some products can be certified through manufacturer’s self-assessment.
Carrying out tests and examinations: laboratory research, risk analysis, other technical checks.
Preparation of technical documentation for CE: drawings, specifications, instructions, test reports.
Drafting the CE Declaration of Conformity / Declaration of Conformity WE/UE: product description, responsible persons, list of applied standards and directives.
Affixing the CE mark to the product and ensuring marking requirements are met (size, form, visibility).
Retaining documentation and the Declaration of Conformity for at least 10 years — readiness for inspections.

The role of a notified body and preparation of technical documentation for CE

A notified body is an accredited independent entity authorized to assess the conformity of high-risk products or those for which the directive requires external verification. If the product falls under such requirements, without the involvement of this body, the safety declaration may be considered invalid, and the product illegal. Technical documentation must be flawless: product description, drawings, materials, instructions, test results, risk analyses, list of standards with which the product complies. Errors or incompleteness may lead to certification refusal or fines.

How to avoid mistakes: legal risks of not having a CE declaration

A product without the CE mark or Declaration of Conformity may be detained at customs, withdrawn from the market, or fined.
Responsibility rests on the manufacturer or importer — if damage arises due to non-compliance with standards, there may be lawsuits from clients or regulatory authorities.
Documentation errors, incorrect marking, lack of tests — all of these are sources of legal problems.
