Exporting rubber products to the EU requires strict adherence to CE marking, EU representative registration, and REACH compliance—three core requirements to avoid customs detention and penalties. As a professional Chinese manufacturer, we deliver a one-stop compliance solution for global buyers.
1. CE Marking: Product Safety Passport
CE marking is mandatory for rubber goods sold in the EU/EEA. Depending on application, products must comply with relevant directives:
· Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC: Industrial seals, hoses, and vibration isolators.
· CPR (EU 305/2011): Construction rubber parts (seals, gaskets).
· PPE Regulation (EU 2016/425): Protective gloves and safety components. We conduct EN-standard testing (e.g., EN 12100), compile technical files, and issue the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) before affixing the CE mark.
2. EU Representative (EU REP): Mandatory for Non-EU Manufacturers
Non-EU producers must appoint an EU-based authorized representative to act as the legal contact for EU authorities. The EU REP maintains technical files, handles market surveillance, and ensures traceability—a must for customs clearance and post-market compliance.
3. REACH Compliance: Chemical Safety Control
Under REACH (EC 1907/2006), all rubber articles must control SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern)—currently 240+ items—at ≤0.1% by weight. Key risks include PAHs, phthalates (DEHP/DBP), heavy metals, and residual vulcanizing agents. If SVHC exceeds 0.1% and annual volume ≥1 ton, ECHA notification is required. We perform SVHC screening, PAHs testing, and restricted substance checks, providing full REACH compliance reports.
