Why is the CE mark meeting the RED requirements so important?
The product array of radio equipment continues to expand, from radio and television receivers to garage door openers and residential monitoring systems.In order to legally sell these products in the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA), manufacturers and distributors must ensure that their products bear the CE mark.Failure to meet the requirements will result in fines, product ban and recall.

New Directive Compliance Procedure
1、Manufacturer's DOC+internal production control (according to RED Directive Annex II)
If the harmonized standard is used completely, the certificate issued by the NB organization may not be required. The manufacturer is responsible for technical documents, internal production control and CE marking.
2、Type examination certificate+internal production control (according to the procedure of Annex III) issued by the NB organization is issued by the NB organization, but the manufacturer is still responsible for the technical documents and production control of the product and affixed with the CE mark.According to the compliance scheme of Annex III procedure, the manufacturer still cannot use the code of NB agency on the product.
3、Sign full quality assurance agreement with NB organization (according to Annex IV procedure of the directive)
The NB organization shall review the whole process related to quality assurance of manufactured goods, review the technical documents, including CE logo and self declaration, and issue the quality certificate. The manufacturer can display the NB organization code on the product only when using this compliance procedure.
