Printers exported to Europe and the United States need to do what certification

Printers need the following certifications for exporting to Europe and the US:

- Exporting to the EU:

- CE certification: this is a mandatory certification for entering the EU market.The CE certification mark is a safety certification mark, which is regarded as the manufacturer's passport to open and enter the European market. CE certification for printers usually involves several directives, including Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), Low Voltage Safety Directive (2014/35/EU), Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU) and so on. You need to prepare detailed technical documents, including technical specifications of the product, design drawings, manufacturing process, etc., and send the printer to an accredited laboratory for electrical safety testing, electromagnetic compatibility testing, etc. After passing the tests and audits, you can obtain the CE certification certificate and attach the CE certification mark to the product.

- RoHS Certification: The EU's Directive on Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment is mainly used to detect the presence of 10 hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and their ethers in products. All electrical and electronic products exported to the European Union generally require RoHS certification to ensure that the products are harmless to human health and the environment.

- Export to USA:

- FCC Certification: FCC certification is a safety certification mark from the Federal Communications Commission and is considered a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the U.S. market. Printers exported to the U.S. must be FCC certified, which essentially ensures that the product is compliant with respect to radio frequency interference. FCC certification is even more important if the printer involves wireless communication capabilities (e.g., Wi-Fi capability).

- UL Certification: UL certification is issued by UL, a U.S. safety science company. Although not legally mandatory, having a UL certification in the U.S. market is usually a credibility and competitive advantage in the marketplace, helping to improve product recognition and market competitiveness.
