At present,if CE certification is required,there are approximately three types of CE certification agencies available in the market
Category 1:Direct certification by European institutions
For example,well-known certification agencies such as SGS,TUV in Germany,ITS in the UK,etc.The advantage of choosing such certification agencies is their authoritative certificates,and the market,including consumers,also has a high recognition of the CE certificates they issue.
The disadvantage is that the cost of finding such institutions is high,and the certification process is strict,which increases the difficulty of the certification process and leads to a single choice.
Category 2:Domestic testing agencies cooperating with EU NB institutions
The advantages of cooperating with agency agencies are that they have multiple choices and provide good services(within the scope permitted by law,they will try their best to assist clients in completing CE certification,and in case of testing failure,they also support collaborative rectification),and communication is convenient.
The disadvantage is that the scale of institutions varies,and some institutions have incomplete laboratory qualifications,which may result in uneven levels of professional expertise and service quality.
Category 3:Trading companies in the testing and certification industry
These types of companies lack independent testing laboratories,and after receiving business,they will cooperate with Class 1 and Class 2 companies to obtain CE certificates.The advantage is that as long as there is a profit,any order can be accepted,and the cost can be negotiated.Later,we can find laboratory institutions that can do it in the industry to do it.The disadvantage is that the service level cannot be guaranteed,and there is a risk of certificate authenticity and authority,which may be deceived and there may be impersonation.
How should companies choose reliable CE certification agencies?
1.If a company's foreign customers are of high quality,value the authority of certificates,and have low recognition of domestic CE certification agencies,then choose well-known institutions such as SGS,TUV,and ITS.Some large companies may also specify certificates issued by authoritative institutions such as SGS,TUV,and ITS.These types of institutions have very strict testing requirements,so we need your product to pass the testing smoothly.
2.If the enterprise is simply spending money to buy a CE certification at the lowest price for customs clearance,it can find several cheaper testing companies to inquire about prices.The goal is to choose the cheapest option,so you get what you pay for,and you also have to bear possible risks.Some companies offer lower prices and have ideal lead times.They may not issue CE reports that are accredited by European laboratories,or their CE certificates may have a low level of recognition,leading to situations where they are not recognized by importers or regulatory agencies,resulting in wasted money.
3.Taking into account all factors,it is recommended to choose a larger and more formal testing and certification institution in China,which provides guaranteed services and meets industry recognition and smooth customs clearance
What is the price of CE certification agency
Based on the situation encountered by Hongding Testing for CE certification,most foreign trade customers are most concerned about the cost,followed by the cycle and service.Generally,they will choose an institution that is affordable in price,provides good service,and has strong guarantees.
In addition to price factors,judging the strength and service of a company also depends on factors such as personnel and site size,qualifications and authorizations obtained,laboratory capabilities,and the professionalism of engineers.
In addition,distance is also a factor,for example,when Hongding Testing does CE certification,it is more convenient for both parties in Shenzhen to send document samples.
