This is an understandable question. I believe this is also in your mind. Before you start the process of obtaining a CE certificate, it is good to understand the costs involved. But most people don't realize how difficult it is to answer this question.
In fact, this is like going to a builder, saying that you want a 200-square-foot six-room house, and then asking him how much it will cost. That question is impossible to answer. There are too many variables. The same is true for CE marking. There are many variables that affect the price you pay.
The price of CE certification varies from product to product. The prices I have seen range from 1,000 yuan to 64,000 yuan. The price is usually affected by the product's certification process, whether the company can perform some or all of its compliance assessment, and the degree of support required to prepare the required compliance documents, technical documents, user manuals and product labels.
Applicable/applied certification procedures or procedures are based on the technical specifications of the product and its "intended use". Only when these factors are clear and correct CE marking directives or directives (yes, a product can be covered by multiple CE directives at the same time), can the European unified standards and certification procedures be determined.
In many cases, the CE Directive provides two or more certification processes that may be used. The costs associated with one or another process can be different, so this is an aspect to keep in mind.
What do you need to know to accurately understand the cost of a CE certificate?
You need to figure out the following:
Which CE Directive or CE Directive applies to your product?
Which standards are applicable to your products? Do these standards have the status of European harmonized standards?
Which certification procedures or procedures apply?
With this information, you can compare quotations from service providers such as testing laboratories, certification agencies, and consultants, and ensure that the same services are provided.
