CE Marking <strong>Certification<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>Process for Water Meters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you should know CE label certification of water meters needs to be based on CE Directive: <strong>2014\/32\/EU (measuring instruments)<\/strong> and tested using <strong>ISO 4064-1:2014, ISO 4064-2:2014 and EN 14154-1:2005+A2:2011<\/strong> standards.<br>You need to know the details and specific requirements of these standards to know whether your product can pass CE certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, you need to prepare for the certification body to come to your factory for testing.<br>Authorized certification bodies will conduct very strict and comprehensive testing. Many factories with lax management systems cannot pass the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, obtaining CE certification is not a one-time thing, you also need to undergo regular supervision and audits. When the product design changes, it needs to be re-evaluated<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Identify Standards<\/strong>: MID 2014\/32\/EU, ISO 4064, EN 14154 (performance testing).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select Notified Body<\/strong>: Choose from NANDO-listed agencies or find a professional certification agency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare Docs<\/strong>: Design files, test reports (accuracy, EMC, durability), and risk assessments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Testing &amp; Audit<\/strong>: Lab tests (flow accuracy, pressure resistance) + factory inspection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CE Labeling<\/strong>: Affix the CE mark after certification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintain Compliance<\/strong>: Annual audits and updates for design changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.
