CE Certification for China-Made Outdoor & Robotic Products
1 resources tagged with "Ce Certification"
CE certification for outdoor electronics like robotic lawn mowers spans several directives at once — the Machinery Directive, RED for the radio and RTK/GNSS link, EMC, LVD, and the outdoor noise emission directive (2000/14/EC). Chinese factories now produce wire-free RTK robot mowers, but a credible CE file needs harmonized-standard test reports for each applicable directive, not a single blanket certificate. Sourcing means confirming the file covers machinery safety and noise, not only the radio.
For products that are both machinery and radio devices, CE means stacking multiple directives in one technical file — missing the Machinery or noise directive is a common gap. We check that the test reports name the correct harmonized standards for each directive and match the actual model.

FAQ
What directives does a robotic lawn mower need for CE?
Typically the Machinery Directive, RED (radio/RTK), EMC, LVD, RoHS, and the outdoor noise directive 2000/14/EC. A complete CE file has a test report addressing each applicable directive.
Can the factory provide a single CE certificate for the whole product?
No — CE for complex products is a self-declaration supported by separate test reports per directive. Treat a one-page 'CE certificate' as a starting point and ask for the underlying reports.
