CE Marking

No, only those covered by a European directive. We determine this during the analysis.

Depending on the product, yes or via a notified body. We will guide you.

Yes, we also support UKCA marking for the United Kingdom.

CE marking is a regulatory certification indicating that a product meets European safety, health, and environmental requirements to circulate freely within the European Economic Area (EEA). It is based on specific directives and regulations: machinery, low voltage, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), toys, personal protective equipment (PPE), construction products, or radio equipment. TargetUp precisely identifies the applicable texts for your product from the regulatory analysis.

It is aimed at all manufacturers, importers or exporters in Morocco and Francophone Africa who wish to sell their products in the European Union. A manufacturer based outside the EU can affix the CE marking themselves, but they remain responsible for compliance and often need to rely on a representative or their European importer. Our team of over 70 consultants structures this responsibility to secure your access to the EEA market.

The technical file gathers all evidence of compliance: product description, list of applicable directives and harmonised standards, risk analysis and assessment, test results, plans, user manual, and signed EU declaration of conformity. It must be retained and presented to market surveillance authorities. TargetUp compiles this documentation from start to finish and delivers a structured and defendable file.

Our approach follows four steps: regulatory analysis (identification of directives and harmonised standards), conformity assessment (testing, risk analysis, selection of the applicable procedure), compilation of the technical file, followed by drafting the EU declaration of conformity and affixing the marking. You benefit from a dedicated consultant, a detailed quote with a timeline, and contractualised results at each milestone.

The timeframe depends on the complexity of the product, the relevant directives, and the need for laboratory testing. After the free diagnosis, we respond within 48 working hours with a precise timeline and a dedicated consultant. The initial regulatory analysis is quick; the conformity assessment and testing constitute the bulk of the schedule, which we manage until the marking is affixed.

CE marking is a regulatory requirement for access to the European market, specific to a product and based on directives; it engages the manufacturer's responsibility. An ISO certification (9001, 14001, 45001…) is voluntary and pertains to your management system. Both are complementary: TargetUp, a triple-certified ISO 9001, 21001, and 37301 firm, can align your CE marking with an ISO approach to enhance the credibility of your production.

Yes. A non-compliant or poorly documented product can be held at the EU border, rejected by an importer, or withdrawn by market surveillance. A complete compliance file and a proper EU declaration significantly reduce this risk and reassure your European clients. TargetUp builds a defendable file that protects your export turnover and your credibility with importers.
