How should an electronics website show CE, EPREL and ENEC?

For electrical and electronic products, CE is not a certificate but the manufacturer’s declaration: the site says for which product and under which legislation it is affixed, and does not say “CE certificate”. For a product with an energy label, the model is registered in EPREL before it is placed on the market, and the QR code on the label leads to the model’s EPREL page; the product page should show the same record. Third-party marks such as ENEC sit only next to the certified product.

Electrical and electronics together with air conditioning carry about 10.6% of sector-based exports registered with the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) in 2025: electrical and electronics at 17.73 billion dollars, 7.5%, and air conditioning at 7.39 billion dollars, 3.1% (the total is our calculation). This guide is the detail of the electronics row of the certificate map by sector.

Which document does an electronics buyer ask for?

Usually not a certificate but a declaration and a registration: the product’s CE marking and EU declaration of conformity, and for a product with an energy label, its EPREL registration. Under the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) there is no notified body; the manufacturer assesses conformity alone. For electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) the route is internal production control or EU-type examination by a notified body (Art. 14); according to the Commission’s EMC page, voluntary certificates are not a recognized way to demonstrate conformity. The Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS) also rests on technical documentation and internal production control (Art. 7(b)).

The EU’s Blue Guide (2022) describes the declaration of conformity as a document drawn up and signed by the manufacturer or its authorized representative and kept for ten years; it treats CE as an important indicator of conformity rather than proof of it, and not as a marketing tool. What a declaration of conformity is, is explained in the EU declaration of conformity entry.

How are CE, EPREL and ENEC shown on the website?

Each in its own place. CE sits on the product page, stating for which product and under which legislation it is affixed; if a notified body took part in the conformity assessment, its name and identification number are written too. For a product with an energy label, the page links to the model’s EPREL record: under the regulation, the model is registered before it is placed on the market, the database has a public part, and the QR code on the label leads to the model’s EPREL page. The ENEC mark, in ENEC’s own words, is an independent third-party certification that complements the mandatory CE marking; only the license holder uses the mark, and on the site it can appear only for certified products, with the certification body’s two-digit number.

The declaration of conformity itself can be published on the site; if it is not, the site says how to request it. Because the declaration belongs to a product, its place on the page is next to the product: a single general “conformity” PDF does not say which model was declared under which legislation. If a product has several models, it is clearly mapped which declaration belongs to which model; a buyer should be able to compare the product code with the code in the declaration.

Where marks and registrations belong on an electronics website

1. 01CE, with product and legislation
2. 02The phrase “CE certificate”
3. 03EPREL registration and model page
4. 04ENEC mark
5. 05Notified body name and number

What should an electronics website not say?

• “CE certificate” or “CE-certified company”: according to the European Commission’s Your Europe page, there is no central EU body that grants permission or certificates for CE, and voluntary “CE certificates” have no legal standing.
• Attributing CE to the company as a whole: CE belongs to a product, not to a company.
• Using the ENEC mark next to a product without a certificate or across the site.
• Writing values on the product page that differ from the energy-labeled product’s EPREL record.
• Writing a body’s name or number next to CE when no notified body took part in the conformity assessment.
• Publishing the declaration of conformity as a single general PDF without naming the model.

What changed in electronics in 2026?

There is no rule change dated 2026 for this sector in our list of facts; the change the site needs to watch this year is older: since October 22, 2024, digital authentication of suppliers in EPREL has been mandatory (Implementing Regulation 2024/994). Who has access to EPREL also matters for keeping the link on the product page current: when a model changes, whoever updates the registration and whoever updates the page should work from the same calendar.

How does a buyer verify the documents?

Depending on the source. For a product with an energy label, in the public part of EPREL or through the QR code on the label; if a notified body took part, with its identification number in the NANDO database; for ENEC, with the license and the certification body’s number. The company’s management system certificates are searched in CertSearch; the four-step path is in the is a company’s ISO certificate real guide. Keeping the values on the product page identical to the EPREL record is how a buyer avoids running into an inconsistency when comparing the two sources.

How are the product page and the machine layer built?

Electronics is the sector of the only area where Google actually uses certification markup. According to Google’s merchant listing documentation, a Product can carry up to ten certifications, each requires the issuing body and a name, and support covers only the EU energy label (EPREL) and the vehicle CO2 classes of France and Germany. So on the page of a product with an energy label, when the EPREL registration is written as a certification in the Product markup, Google can use it in merchant listings. The product page carries the class on the label, the model’s EPREL link and the technical values in visible text; the markup repeats the same information. To produce this markup with the energy label option, there is the certificate markup generator. For products without an energy label, the markup changes nothing in how they appear on Google; its value lies in giving the same information to the other machines that read the document.

A short checklist for an electronics website

1. Is CE written on every product page together with the legislation it is affixed under?
2. Is a sentence with “CE certificate” left on the site?
3. Does every energy-labeled model link to its EPREL record, and are the values identical to the record?
4. Is the ENEC mark only next to certified products, with the body’s number?
5. Is each model’s declaration of conformity mapped to the product code?
6. If a notified body took part, are its name and identification number written?
7. In the markup of energy-labeled products, does the EPREL registration stand as a certification?
8. Does the page say how to request the declaration of conformity?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is there such a thing as a CE certificate?

According to the European Commission’s Your Europe page, there is no central EU body that grants permission or certificates for CE, and voluntary “CE certificates” have no legal standing. CE rests on the manufacturer’s own declaration.

Where does Google use certification markup?

Only in merchant listings, for the EU energy label (EPREL) and the vehicle CO2 classes of France and Germany. There is no support for an organization’s or a service’s certificates.

Where can the ENEC mark be used on a website?

Only next to products with an ENEC certificate and with the certification body’s two-digit number; the mark is used by the license holder.
