Have your motor products ever been detained by the EU customs due to incomplete CE certification? With the implementation of the EUs new energy efficiency regulations in 2024, the threshold for motor exports has been raised again. This article will reveal the core requirements for EU market access, from CE certification to logistics and customs clearance, from RoHS testing to after - sales tracking, and teach you how to avoid risks step by step, enabling your motor products to successfully enter the EU market.

I. Core Requirements for EU Market Access

1. Mandatory Certifications and Tests
   • CE認(rèn)證:
     • Covered Directives: EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), Low Voltage Directive (LVD, 2014/35/EU), RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU)
     • Examples of Test Standards:
       ? Motor Equipment: EN 61000 - 6 - 1 (Immunity), EN 61000 - 6 - 3 (Electromagnetic Emission)
       ? Battery - type Accessories: EN 62133 - 2 (Safety Standard)
       ? Accessories with Wireless Function: Need to additionally comply with the RED Directive (2014/53/EU)
   • EMC測(cè)試: Verify the electromagnetic compatibility of the equipment to avoid interfering with other equipment or being interfered with. 
   • RoHS合規(guī): Limit the content of 6 types of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium (≤0.1% or 0.01% in homogeneous materials). 
2. Technical Document and Label Requirements
   • Technical Documentation: It needs to include design drawings, test reports, risk assessments, circuit diagrams, etc., and be kept for at least 10 years.
   • User Manual: Provide versions in official EU languages (such as English, German, French), and clearly state safety warnings and operating specifications.
   • CE標(biāo)識(shí): With a height ≥ 5mm, permanently marked in a prominent position on the equipment.
3. Additional Requirements for Special Accessories
   • Battery - type Accessories: Comply with the Battery Directive 2013/56/EU, and mark capacity, recycling signs, and chemical substance information. 
   • Components Containing Chemical Materials: Comply with the REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006). If it contains SVHC substances (≥0.1%), it needs to be notified in the supply chain.

II.foreign tradeContent and Process of Agency Services

Compliance Certification Stage

• Certification Planning: Match EU directives according to product types (such as industrial motors, household motor accessories) and develop a CE certification path.
• Laboratory Coordination: Assist in selecting EU notified bodies (such as TüV, SGS), complete EMC, LVD, etc. tests and obtain reports.
• Document Localization: Translate technical documents and instructions to ensure compliance with EN standard terms.

Production and Quality Inspection Links

• Supply Chain Audit: Verify the RoHS compliance certification documents of raw material suppliers.
• Pre - inspection Service: Spot - check the insulation performance of motors (such as withstand voltage test ≥ 1500V), and the dimensional tolerances of spare parts (in accordance with ISO 2768 standard).
• Rectification Support: For EMC test failure issues (such as excessive radiation), provide shielding material solutions or circuit optimization suggestions.

Logistics and Customs Clearance Support

Packaging specifications:
? Industrial motors: Wooden box packaging + shock - proof foam, in line with the ISPM15 fumigation standard
? Precision parts: Vacuum moisture - proof packaging + anti - seismic tray fixation

Transportation plan:

Customs Clearance Documents: Act as an agent to prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, CE declarations and FORM AIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:(Enjoy GSP tariff preferences).

After - sales and Market Tracking

• EPR注冊(cè): Act as an agent to complete compliance registrations such as German EAR (electronic equipment recycling) and French Ecologic (packaging recycling).
• Public Opinion Monitoring: Warn of product recall risks through the EU RAPEX system and provide rectification plans.
• Value - added Services:
  ? Energy efficiency upgrade: Optimize product design for the ErP directive (such as the EU 2019/1781 motor energy efficiency standard)
  ? Carbon footprint accounting: Meet the declaration requirements of the EU CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)

III. Risk Avoidance Suggestions

1. Certification Timeliness: Since 2024, the EU has strengthened spot checks on motor energy efficiency. It is recommended to update the EN 50598 - 2 standard test in advance.
2. Supply Chain Filing: Retain RoHS test reports of key components (such as bearings, capacitors) for at least 5 years.
3. Dispute Resolution: Agree in the contract that TüV or BV shall be the third - party quality arbitration institution.

When exporting metal jewelry to the EU, especially during sample customs clearance, the requirements are often diverse. Especially in the current international environment, the EU has carried out more reviews and supervision of the origin of raw materials. The non - Russian material declaration you mentionedMotor equipment and spare parts not only need to meet mandatory certifications such as CE and RoHS, but also require professional full - process foreign trade agency service support. From pre - certification planning to post - market tracking, every link is related to whether the product can smoothly enter the EU market and operate in compliance for a long time. It is recommended that enterprises make early arrangements, choose experienced agency service providers, do a good job in supply chain filing and standard updating, so as to remain invincible in the highly competitive EU market.
