Pet Products CE Mark

In overseas markets, smart technology is leading the transformation and upgrading of the pet products industry. Smart pet products, such as automatic feeders, smart collars, and intelligent litter boxes, are gradually gaining popularity among consumers. By integrating advanced technology, these products enable intelligent pet feeding and health management, greatly enhancing user convenience and efficiency.

Furthermore, the rise of cross-border e-commerce platforms has provided strong support for pet product companies to expand into international markets. However, different countries and regions require different export certifications for pet products.

The European and American markets have strict requirements regarding the quality and safety of pet products. For example, pet toys exported to the United States must obtain ASTM certification, while those exported to Europe require EN71 certification. Although these regulations ensure the safety of pet products, they also set a high entry threshold for brands.

Currently, China's exports of smart pet appliances continue to grow, with the European Union occupying a significant share. To sell smart pet appliances in the EU market, products must comply with a series of regulations and standards to ensure safety, compliance, and quality.

Here is key information about exporting pet products to the European and American markets:

U.S. Market

- FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Registration and ComplianCE certification: Pet food must be registered with the FDA and submit compliance documents that meet U.S. safety and quality standards.

- CPC Certification (Children’s Product Certificate): Although primarily for children's products, certain pet products (such as toys) that may interact with or be accessed by children must also obtain this certification, proving they comply with all relevant safety rules and are tested by CPSC-accredited third-party laboratories.

- ASTM Standards: Apply to the safety evaluation of pet toys and supplies, ensuring they do not cause harm during use.

1. CPSIA Total Lead + Phthalates;

2. ASTM F963 Toy Standard;

3. 16 CFR Part 1501 Small Parts Regulation (for toys);

4. 16 CFR Part 1510 Rattle Requirements (only for rattles, covered under ASTM F963);

5. 16 CFR Part 1505 Safety Standard for Electrically Operated Toys (only for electric toys).

European Market

1. CE Certification

- CE Mark: Smart pet appliances entering the EU market must carry the CE mark. This mark is a mandatory safety certification for products imported and sold within the EU, indicating compliance with EU directives and standards.

- Applicable Standards: For smart pet appliances, CE certification typically requires compliance with EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), LVD (Low Voltage Directive), RED (Radio Equipment Directive for wireless devices), and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements.

2. Regulations and Directives

- Toy Safety Directive: If smart pet appliances are considered toys or part of toys (e.g., electronic pet toys), they must comply with the EU Toy Safety Directive (Directive 2009/48/EC) and may need to meet the EN71 series of standards.

- Other Related Regulations: Smart pet appliances may also need to comply with other regulations such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) and RoHS.
