I want to sell a product in the EU
Which rules affect my product? Is CE marking required? What technical documentation, declarations and assessments need attention?
Regulatory Assessments
Selling, importing or releasing a product in the EU – what do you need to check?
Are you developing a product, planning an import or preparing a product release? You need to know which requirements matter for your situation, what documentation is needed and what to do next.
Understand your situation: which product information, responsibilities and evidence need clarification?
What decision are you preparing?
Which EU rules may matter for your product?
Depending on the product, relevant topics may include the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU (RED) and General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR).
Other examples include RoHS, REACH, Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and the Cyber Resilience Act (EU) 2024/2847. The relevant route depends on the product's characteristics, intended use, timing, market and economic operator responsibilities.
Do I need to know the exact EU regulation already?
No. Start with your task and your product's characteristics. If you already know the legislation you are looking for, our topic pages provide a more specific starting point.
Each assessment has a defined scope and does not replace a legally required certification, authority decision or independent conformity assessment.
