What the CE marking technical file includes

The technical file

Complete set of documentation supporting the Declaration of Conformity: technical product description, drawings and schematics, risk assessment, EU Declaration of Conformity, test reports, component certificates, instruction manual, labeling specifications, and change log. As a general rule, it must be kept for 10 years and made available to market surveillance authorities when requested.

The risk assessment

Systematic evaluation of all potential product hazards during normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse: electrical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal hazards. It identifies severity and likelihood for each risk and documents the mitigation measures applied. It is the central document of the technical file and the first one authorities request during an inspection.

The EU Declaration of Conformity

Legal document in which the manufacturer declares under its sole responsibility that the product complies with all applicable European Directives. It must include manufacturer identification, product description, complied Directives, applied standards, and the signature of an authorized person. Without it, you cannot affix the CE marking or legally sell in Europe.

Mandatory markings on product and packaging

Visible, legible, and indelible indications that must appear on the product and its packaging: CE marking, manufacturer identification, model/type, batch or serial number, the address of the responsible economic operator established in the EU (importer, authorized representative, or fulfilment service provider), when applicable, and mandatory safety warnings depending on the product category.

Warnings and instructions in the manual

Safe-use guidance, residual hazard warnings, and mandatory maintenance instructions depending on the product category. They must be in the language of the country where you sell. A well-written manual reduces legal risk and meets consumer information obligations.

GPSR warnings for web listings

For online sales, the GPSR requires that the offer displays minimum manufacturer/operator information and relevant safety warnings and safety information. Applicable from 13 December 2024 for products within the scope of the GPSR.

Laboratory testing

Technical tests verifying that the product meets safety requirements, electromagnetic compatibility, performance, and any other aspect regulated by the applicable Directives. They are the objective evidence of compliance. Without recognized laboratory testing, the technical file will not withstand inspections or marketplace requirements.

FAQs about our CE marking consulting services

Two products are considered the same if they keep the intended use, function, main materials, and risk profile. Color, size, cosmetic dimensions, or packaging may vary. They are considered different if the main material, critical components (battery, circuit), function, target population (adults vs. children), or electrical characteristics change. Example: LED flashlight in 3 colors = same product. Rechargeable LED flashlight vs. battery-powered = different products.

It mainly depends on laboratory testing time: 2–3 weeks for simple products and up to 6–8 weeks for complex products or those with multiple certifications. Technical documentation preparation is relatively fast once you have the test results.

Yes, if they are valid. We review what works and what doesn't. For a certificate to be valid, it must cover your exact product (same model, components, and specifications), come from a recognized lab, be based on the current version of the standard, and cover the applicable Directives. If it meets these criteria, we integrate it into the technical file. If not, we tell you what you need to complete.

Yes. EU (CE marking) and UK (UKCA marking) technical requirements are very similar, and we can prepare documentation valid for both markets. We confirm your product's up-to-date status within 24 hours.

Yes, if you are a manufacturer outside the EU and there is no established importer in the EU. In that case, to sell in the EU there must be a responsible economic operator established in the Union (for example, an importer, an authorized representative, or a fulfilment service provider), under the GPSR applicable from 13 December 2024. We offer it as a separate service, contracted together with the consulting service or separately.See Authorized Representative service

We prepare urgent unblocking documentation with what you have available so you can respond quickly. Then we complete the full technical file. In urgent cases, we can prioritize your project for an additional fee.

Yes. If you purchase an upgrade within 30 days of delivery of the diagnostic or previous stage, we deduct the total amount actually paid for earlier stages for the same product and scope from the new service’s total price. This also applies to the full-service plan and, for incident services, to the same incident and scope. At the base rates, if you have paid €119 and the next service’s total price is €199, you pay an additional €80. For individually quoted work, we confirm the total price before the upgrade and deduct the amount already paid.

It does not formally expire, but it must be updated if you change critical components, new versions of harmonized standards are published, or you modify design, packaging, or intended use. In practice, documentation older than 5 years may not be accepted by certain sales channels.

A person authorized to legally represent the manufacturer: the CEO, the technical director, or anyone with documented legal authority. The signature assumes legal responsibility for product compliance.

It is an EU-authorized entity to perform conformity assessments for high-risk products when the applicable Directive specifically requires it. For most consumer products, it is NOT mandatory. We confirm in the initial assessment whether your product requires it.

Yes. If you put your brand on the product, modify anything that affects conformity, or assume conformity responsibility, you are legally the manufacturer. You need a technical file in your name, not only the original manufacturer's.

No. It is a separate service. If you sell from outside the EU and there is no importer/economic operator established in the EU, you will need a responsible economic operator established in the EU. If you contract both, the risk assessment and the Declaration of Conformity are not duplicated—we help you set up the right combination.See Authorized Representative service

Product description (what it is, how it works, intended use), technical specifications (voltage, power, materials, dimensions), photos of the product and current labeling, and any existing documentation (certificates, test reports, manuals). We send you a detailed checklist when you request the service.

No. US standards are not valid for CE marking. You will need testing to European harmonized standards.

The final price depends on the product’s characteristics, applicable regulations, complexity and risks. We review the product and available documentation to confirm the scope and price before you commit. More complex products and work beyond the base scope require a personalised quote.
