Identify the market and product category first. Each dossier separates legal duties, referenced standards, evidence and the comparison needed for an award.
EU · Regulation (EU) 2023/988
Consumer products, including products reasonably likely to be used by consumers. The general safety requirement covers risks not already addressed by specific Union harmonisation legislation; industrial-only equipment and excluded sectors require separate classification.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2014/35/EU
Electrical equipment designed for 50–1,000 V AC or 75–1,500 V DC, subject to Annex II exclusions. Radio equipment follows RED safety provisions without these voltage limits. A low-voltage DC product is not automatically exempt from general product safety.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2014/30/EU
Apparatus and fixed installations liable to cause electromagnetic disturbance or whose performance can be affected by it. Radio equipment normally addresses EMC through RED. Component status, inherently benign equipment and installation-only supply must be assessed.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2014/53/EU
Products intentionally emitting or receiving radio waves for communication or radiodetermination, including connected locks, cameras, routers, toys and wearables. A pre-certified radio module does not alone establish conformity of the finished product and antennas.
Learn moreEU · Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30; Regulation (EU) 2026/339
Article 3(3)(d) covers defined internet-connected radio equipment; privacy requirements additionally concern specified equipment, including childcare and wearable products, where relevant data are processed. Fraud protection applies to defined money-transfer functionality. Product-specific exceptions must be checked.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments
EEE within the Directive’s defined voltage and category scope, with explicit exclusions, spare-part conditions and time-limited exemptions. The assessment unit for concentration limits is the homogeneous material, not the average of a whole assembled product.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex XVII
Chemical substances, mixtures and finished articles trigger different duties. For textiles, footwear, toys, furniture, plastics, coatings and industrial materials, identify each actual substance, material, contact condition and use before assigning a restriction.
Learn moreEU · Regulations (EC) 1935/2004, (EC) 2023/2006 and (EU) 10/2011
Articles intended or reasonably expected to contact food or transfer constituents to food. The framework applies across material types; Regulation 10/2011 specifically concerns plastics and does not establish a single EU harmonised regime for all metals, paper, silicone or coatings.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2009/48/EC; transition to Regulation (EU) 2025/2509
Products designed or intended, whether exclusively or not, for play by children under 14. Not all childcare articles or sports products are toys. Age grading, accessibility, foreseeable behaviour and the Directive’s exclusions determine the assessment.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EU) 2016/425
Equipment worn or held for protection against health or safety risks, including applicable protective clothing, safety footwear, helmets, eyewear and fall protection. Ordinary fashion items or comfort products are not PPE merely because a seller uses protective wording.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2006/42/EC; Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
Machinery, interchangeable equipment, safety components and other expressly included products; partly completed machinery has a distinct incorporation route. Powered garden tools, industrial robots and motorised gates require classification rather than treating every moving product as a household appliance.
Learn moreEU · Regulations (EU) 305/2011 and (EU) 2024/3110
Products intended for permanent incorporation in construction works where performance affects the relevant basic requirements. Identify the product family, intended use, cited harmonised technical specification or European Technical Assessment and actual Member State installation requirements.
Learn moreEU · EU product measures: 2019/2019, 2019/2022, 2019/2023 and related acts
Covered energy-related product groups, not all electrical products. Household refrigerators, dishwashers and washing machines have separate scope definitions and measures; professional equipment, combined products, heaters and motors can follow different acts.
Learn moreEU · Regulations (EU) 2019/2021 and 2019/2013
Televisions, monitors and digital-signage displays within the definitions and exemptions. Scope depends on the display function and configuration; a separately testable incorporated screen can be covered. Computer requirements do not automatically replace monitor requirements.
Learn moreEU · Regulations (EU) 2019/2020 and 2019/2015
Light sources and separate control gear within the definitions; distinguish a light source from a containing product. Luminaires do not generally carry their former energy label, but some integrated luminaires meet the light-source definition themselves.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and amendments
All battery categories, including incorporated batteries, with different duties for portable, SLI, light-means-of-transport, electric-vehicle and industrial batteries. A stationary battery energy-storage system triggers specific safety and technical evidence; the complete storage system can also trigger other product laws.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EU) 2025/40
Packaging and packaging waste across materials, with distinct rules for contact-sensitive, transport, sales, grouped, reusable and other packaging. Food-contact packaging must also comply with the separate food-contact-material regime.
Learn moreEU · REACH Annex XVII entry 77; Regulation (EU) 2023/1464
Articles releasing formaldehyde to indoor air, subject to the entry’s exclusions. Furniture and wood-based articles have a distinct limit; road-vehicle interiors have a later date. Natural formaldehyde sources and articles covered by exclusions must not be assigned a limit without checking their legal conditions.
Learn moreEU · Directive (EU) 2020/2184 Article 11; 2024/367, 2024/368, 2024/370
Products and final materials contacting water intended for human consumption, including relevant pipes, fittings, storage and treatment components. Distinguish drinking-water hygiene from structural, hydraulic, electrical and food-contact rules.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EU) 1007/2011; Directive 94/11/EC
Textile products within the fibre-composition Regulation and footwear within the footwear Directive have separate definitions and exclusions. Textile content in furniture or outdoor products may trigger labelling duties; bags do not become footwear merely because they share a catalogue category.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EU) 2018/858 and applicable sector acts
Motor vehicles and trailers within categories M, N and O and covered systems, components and separate technical units. Two/three-wheel vehicles, agricultural vehicles, bicycles and non-road machinery have different frameworks; a road vehicle component cannot be assigned one universal CE route.
Learn moreEU · Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
Chemical substances and mixtures placed on the market, including applicable paints, adhesives, sealants and household chemicals. Finished articles generally do not follow every mixture-labelling duty; special product regimes and exemptions need checking.
Learn moreEU · Directive 2014/68/EU
Pressure equipment and assemblies with maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0.5 bar, subject to detailed exclusions and product boundaries. Pressure cookers, vessels, piping, safety accessories and assemblies are not assigned the same conformity category.
Learn moreApplicability depends on the product classification, intended use, configuration and actual sales territory. Manufacturing, placing-on-the-market and testing dates, together with transition provisions, are checked as required by each applicable rule. The directory identifies sources; it does not replace assessment of the specific model. Standards are identified by reference, and their authoritative texts remain with the issuing bodies. Official source documents retain their original language.
