With the acceleration of global energy transition, energy storage battery systems, as core components, are rapidly entering Europe—a key global market. However, to legally sell your energy storage battery products in the European Economic Area (EEA), CE Certification is an indispensable mandatory "passport". It is not only a legal requirement but also an authoritative symbol of your product’s safety, reliability, and environmental friendliness.

I. What Is Energy Storage Battery CE Certification? Why Is It Crucial?

The CE mark is a mandatory compliance symbol for products entering the European market. For energy storage batteries (including residential energy storage systems, commercial and industrial energy storage battery packs, etc.), affixing the CE mark means the manufacturer declares that the product complies with relevant EU standards for health, safety, and environmental protection.

For your enterprise, the importance of CE Certification is reflected in:

1. Statutory Threshold for Market Access

Without CE Certification, your energy storage battery products cannot be legally cleared or sold within the EU and EEA. It is the first and most critical step to enter the market.

2. Enhance Product Competitiveness and Reputation

The CE mark is a widely recognized safety symbol among European consumers and purchasers. Holding CE Certification can significantly enhance customer trust in your products and become a powerful weapon to outperform uncertified competitors.

3. Avoid Legal and Commercial Risks

Selling products without CE Certification may lead to risks such as product removal, heavy fines, or even legal proceedings. Compliant certification is a "moat" to protect enterprises from losses.

4. Ensure Intrinsic Product Safety

The certification process itself is a comprehensive testing and optimization of product design, helping you identify and correct potential safety hazards and improve product quality.

II. Core Directives and Regulations Involved in Energy Storage Battery CE Certification

Energy storage battery products are usually complex electrical systems, so their CE Certification requires comprehensive consideration of multiple EU directives and regulations, mainly including:

1. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU

• Purpose: Ensure your energy storage battery does not generate excessive electromagnetic interference during operation that affects other devices; at the same time, it can resist common external electromagnetic interference and maintain stable operation.
• Test Items: Conducted emissions, radiated emissions, harmonic currents, electrostatic discharge immunity, surge immunity, etc.

2. Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU

• Purpose: Ensure the product has sufficient electrical safety protection when used within the specified voltage range (AC 50V-1000V, DC 75V-1500V) to prevent electric shock, fire, mechanical hazards, etc.
• Test Items: Electric shock protection, temperature rise test, dielectric strength test, abnormal operation test, mechanical strength, etc.

3. RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU

• Purpose: Restrict the use of certain hazardous substances (such as lead, mercury, cadmium) in electrical and electronic products, reflecting environmental protection requirements.

4. Battery Directive 2006/66/EC and Its New Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

• Note: The new battery regulation has taken effect, imposing stricter requirements on sustainability, safety labeling, carbon footprint, recycled material content, etc. It is a key new requirement that must be focused on for energy storage battery certification.

III. Complete Process of Energy Storage Battery CE Certification

Step 1: Determine Applicable Directives and Standards

Communicate with our technical experts to clarify the specific directives (EMC, LVD, RoHS, Battery Regulation, etc.) and corresponding harmonized standards (such as EN 62619, EN 61000 series) that your product needs to comply with.

Step 2: Prepare Technical Documentation

This is the core of certification. Required documents include product design drawings, circuit diagrams, BMS (Battery Management System) descriptions, list of key components, risk assessment reports, etc.

Step 3: Product Testing and Conformity Assessment

Send samples to our accredited laboratory for comprehensive safety and performance testing in accordance with relevant standards. For high-risk products, EU Notified Bodies may need to be involved in part of the assessment.

Step 4: Sign the Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

After passing the tests, as the manufacturer, you need to draft and sign a EU Declaration of Conformity, formally committing that the product complies with all applicable regulations.

Step 5: Affix the CE Mark

Affix a clear CE mark to your product, its packaging, and accompanying documents in accordance with regulations.
