ELECTRONICS IN THE EU
Sell electronics in the EU — compliance preflight
Bring the common electronics layers into one evidence map, then add wireless, battery or digital-product checks when the product features trigger them.
QUICK ANSWER
What matters before you rely on a listing or supplier file
Electronics rarely have one single “EU compliance” rule. CE-route legislation, RoHS, WEEE, EMC and product-safety duties can overlap, with RED, batteries and CRA added by specific features.
WHAT TO VERIFY
The scanner focuses on these evidence questions
- CE route, EMC and technical documentation
- RoHS material evidence
- WEEE producer-responsibility layer
- Add RED, batteries or CRA when product features trigger them
INTERACTIVE PREFLIGHT
Build an evidence-gap map for your product
Answer what you know. The engine maps product features, role and sales channel to rule cards and compares them with evidence you say you already have. It does not inspect or authenticate a document.
Boundary: this is an automated evidence-gap preflight, not a legal determination, conformity assessment, certificate or guarantee that a product may be sold.

Questions this preflight should help you frame
Does every electronic product need the same CE tests?
No. The applicable legislation and conformity route depend on the exact product and features.
Does WEEE registration replace CE compliance?
No. WEEE is a producer-responsibility layer separate from technical product conformity.
What changes if the product has Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
Radio functionality adds a RED scope check and can change the conformity route.
