CE Certification Testing FAQ

How much does CE certification testing cost?

A: The cost depends on product complexity, the number of testing directives, and sample status. JJR CE certification testing starts at $899; multi-directive combined products require a specific assessment.

How many samples are needed for CE testing?

A: Usually 2-3 units of fully functional prototypes. If product series differences are minimal, the number of samples can be reduced through a series application.

Are reports issued by JJR recognized in the EU?

A: JJR is an ISO 17025/CNAS accredited laboratory. Reports bearing the ILAC-MRA mark are valid within the EU member states and the global mutual recognition system. For high-risk products requiring NB intervention, JJR can assist in connecting with EU Notified Bodies.

What happens if the test fails? Is there a fee for rectification?

A: JJR provides free initial rectification consultation to help customers locate problems (such as circuit design, shielding, grounding, etc.). Re-testing is charged based on actual testing hours as agreed upon in the contract.

What is the difference between CE Certification and CE Testing?

A: CE Testing is the technical verification phase (performed by the lab); CE Certification is the complete compliance process (Testing + Technical File + DoC + Affixing the CE mark). JJR provides full-chain services including testing and technical support.

If a product already has a CB report, is CE testing still required?

A: A CB report can serve as a technical reference, but CE testing must be performed according to EU Harmonized Standards (EN standards). Some test items differ from IEC standards. JJR can evaluate the feasibility of converting a CB report to CE to reduce redundant testing.
