E/e-mark

What is E/e-mark?
According to the EC Directive and the ECE Regulation, the import of European motor vehicles and their spare parts must comply with the relevant regulations to maintain the basic safety requirements of driving and environmental protection. The product has an E/e-mark verification mark indicating that the product complies with the relevant specifications of the country in which it is issued.

If the product has regulatory requirements, it must be tested and certified and properly labeled. If the product is not marked E/e-mark, it is prohibited to be sold on the market in the member countries.

Products for E/e-mark verification

  • Vehicle products: working machines or vehicles that can be driven on general roads such as locomotives, passenger cars, trucks, and buses.
    Vehicle components: lights, horns, light bulbs, rearview mirrors, automotive glass, tires, brakes, etc.
    Accessories: helmets, child safety chairs, anti-theft devices, car audio, hands-free headsets, mobile phone chargers, car accessories, etc.
    Non-road mobile machinery engines : A mechanical engine that is not a vehicle such as a chain saw, a lawn mower, a stacker, or an agricultural machinery.

E/e-mark qualification method

The product should be considered in the design phase, and the product verification test should be performed by an authorized technical service to confirm compliance with relevant regulations. After passing the test, submit the test report together with the technical documents and other application materials, and apply for an E/e-mark certificate from any national transportation department of the organization.

If a product that does not comply with the regulations is sold in the organization of the member country, the manufacturer or seller is responsible. The manufacturing is located in its territory and its responsibility is attributed to the manufacturer; the overseas is the sales agent of the country. Before the issuance of the certificate, the national transportation department of each organization must confirm whether the factory is a legally registered manufacturer and has a relevant quality management system to ensure the consistency of future volume products. The ISO 9000 series certificate is the best basis for providing the above proof; if it is not available, the competent authorities will perform a factory evaluation check on the manufacturer.
