How it works: CE marking services

CE marking is essential for selling products in the EU, signifying that your product complies with essential health, safety, and environmental standards. At 24hour-AR, we take the guesswork out of CE marking by guiding you through every step of the process, whether you’re working with machinery, electrical products, toys, PPE, medical devices, or other items. Our expert support helps ensure your products are fully compliant and market-ready.

There are three different ways we can help:

  • We can identify the requirements that apply to your product, to eliminate any uncertainty and give you a clear path to compliance. (Starting at €1188)
  • If you’ve already done some work towards compiling the technical file, we can look it over and identify any gaps during a gap analysis. (The cost for a gap analysis for most products is €2082 and always includes a requirements research as well.)
  • If we spot any gaps, we can help you close those gaps and achieve full compliance. (Price to be determined once we know what the gaps are.)

How it works

Step 1: Requirement Analysis

Our process begins with a thorough analysis of your product to identify the applicable directives, regulations, and standards. This crucial step sets the foundation for your compliance journey, providing a clear path to market readiness.

Step 2: Gap Analysis

If you’ve already started compiling your technical file, our team can conduct a gap analysis to identify missing or incomplete documents. We review your existing documentation against the required standards and compile a list of what’s needed to complete your technical file.

Step 3: Closing the Gaps

Once gaps are identified, we assist in preparing the necessary documents to achieve full compliance. Our team ensures your technical file is complete, accurate, and includes all essential elements like test reports and the declaration of conformity.

Frequently asked questions


If you’re not sure about which laws apply to your product, a requirement analysis is the first step to take. This also means that if you need help drafting your declaration of conformity, we’ll first have to conduct a requirement analysis to identify which directives and standards should be stated on the declaration. If there are any doubts about whether your technical file is complete, you would also need to do a gap analysis.


We cannot do a gap analysis without doing a requirement analysis first. So in case you want to know if your technical documentation is complete, we will first conduct a requirement analysis, before doing a gap analysis. For example, if you’re currently working with a supplier that already carried out some of the mandatory tests, we’ll first need to find out if their documents meet all the requirements, or if you will need more. We can only do this by identifying the applicable requirements first, as these determine what should be included in your file.


Once you’ve identified the requirements and compiled your technical file, the declaration of conformity is the next step. We’ve made this as easy as possible with a downloadable template. Scroll to the bottom of this page to find the right one for your specific product.


If you’ve developed your own product or machinery, identifying the requirements and standards that apply should be an integral part of your development process. If you need an additional set of eyes to make sure you’ve used the right available standards, we can help. Also, conducting a risk assessment should be an important part of your design process. We can help with this and determine if any measures should be taken to reduce risk.
