To export electronics to the EU, you must meet the CE EMC Directive. Standards, test items, and product scope are updated regularly and must be followed precisely.
I. Latest Official CE EMC Standards (2026)
The core universal standards are EN 55032 and EN 55035, which form the basis for all general electronics. Additional product-specific standards apply to appliances, tools, multimedia, and automotive devices.
·EN 55032: Limits electromagnetic emissions so the device does not disturb other equipment.
·EN 55035: Defines immunity requirements so the device operates reliably under external interference.
These have replaced older standards such as EN 55022 and EN 55024, which are no longer accepted.
II. CE EMC Test Items
Testing covers two critical areas — emissions and immunity. Both are mandatory.
1.Emission testsConducted disturbance, radiated disturbance, harmonic current, voltage fluctuations and flicker.
2.Immunity testsElectrostatic discharge (ESD), radiated RF immunity, fast transient bursts, surge, voltage dips and interruptions.
Partial testing violates EU rules and will cause customs or platform rejection.
III. Applicable Products
Virtually all electrical and electronic products exported to the EU require CE EMC.
Common examples:Home appliances, power adapters, chargers, lighting, power tools, office equipment, audio-visual devices, security equipment, instruments, automotive electronics.
Even simple low-power devices are now strictly enforced. Lack of EMC compliance frequently leads to seizure.
IV. Difference Between New and Old Standards
Old standards are fully obsolete. The latest EN 55032/35 feature stricter limits, more detailed test methods, and real-world simulation. Only up-to-date reports are valid for customs and e-commerce platforms.
