Small kitchen appliances are closely related to our lives. In our daily use, they not only need to be beautiful and durable, but also need to be safe to use and not affect the operation of other equipment.
European Union CE certification for small kitchen appliances
For the European market, the European Commission pointed out that household and similar products sold in Europe must be affixed with a CE certification label (must comply with the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC)
The coordinated standards cited by CE certification are:
