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 · 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 · 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 · 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 · 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.

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.
