CE certification is a mandatory requirement, which must comply with the following key standards:

①　LVD low voltage directive (2014/35/EU): Applicable to equipment with a rated voltage of 50–1000V AC or 75–1500V DC, complying with EN 60335-1 (General requirements for safety of household and similar electrical appliances) + EN 60335-2-14 (Particular requirements for kitchen machines).

②　EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU): Complying with EN 55014-1 (Electromagnetic emissions) + EN 55014-2 (Electromagnetic immunity).

③　For wireless-controlled models, compliance with the RED Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) is an additional requirement.

The ce mark must be affixed to the product, and a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) must be compiled and signed.

Export to the US

Safety Certification

UL certification is required (voluntary in regulation, but a core market access requirement), complying with the corresponding standard UL 982 (Safety Standard for Kitchen Appliances).

Electromagnetic Compatibility

Compliance with fcc part 15 is mandatory. For motor-equipped devices, fcc Part 15 Subpart B (Conducted and radiated emission requirements) must be met. A fcc id (for wireless devices) or fcc sdoc (Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity, for non-wireless devices) declaration is required.

Energy Efficiency Requirements

Some states (e.g., California) may impose local energy efficiency regulations, and relevant requirements must be confirmed in advance.

The market scale of the automatic peeling machine industry is expanding continuously. According to relevant data, the industry’s annual compound growth rate (CAGR) has exceeded 15% in recent years, and the global market scale is expected to surpass 2 billion US dollars by 2026.
