Introduction to CE certification Testing for Small Appliances

CE Certification Testing Items:

- Certification content includes:

  • Review of technical documentation

  • Evaluation of circuit diagrams

  • Determination of applicable certification scheme

 

Household Appliance Testing Projects and Standards (图1)


- Testing content varies by product and relevant directives. Main test categories:

  • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC):

    - Disturbance power

    - Radiated disturbance

    - Terminal disturbance voltage

    - Electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity

    - Radiated immunity

    - Conducted immunity, etc.

  • low voltage directive (LVD):

    - Harmonic current

    - Voltage fluctuation and flicker

    - Current strength

    - Instantaneous voltage, etc.

 

Relevant EN Testing Standards:

- EN 60335: Safety of household and similar appliances

- EN 55014-1: EMC – Requirements for household appliances – Part 1: Emission

- EN 55014-2: EMC – Requirements – Part 2: Immunity

- en 61000-3-2: Harmonic current emissions limits (≤16A/phase)

- EN 61000-3-3: Voltage fluctuation and flicker limits (≤16A)

- EN 62233:2008: Measurement and evaluation of EMF from household appliances

 

Common Testing Standards for Household Appliances
