How to get CE Certification for Power Adapters?

Power adapters are commonly used accessories in mobile devices such as laptops and smartphones. These products rely on power adapters extensively. The application of power adapters is broad, not only limited to mobile devices but also used in various other fields. For CE certification of power adapters, it generally involves compliance with the low voltage directive (LVD), Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC), ERP, RoHS, and other related standards.

What Are the Standards for CE Certification of Power Adapters?

1. EN 62368-1:Safety requirements for audio/video, information, and communication technology equipment (applicable to adapters used for TVs, audio equipment, and other AV products)
