E - Mark refers to the European Common Market. For motor vehicles, motorcycles, and their safety - related parts and components, as well as noise and exhaust emissions, they must comply with the provisions of EU directives [EEC Directives] and European Economic Commission regulations [ECE Regulation]. After the products meet the certification requirements, a certificate of conformity will be awarded to ensure the safety of driving and meet the requirements of environmental protection. Depending on the country of certification, the E - Mark has different numbers. For example, if an application is made in Luxembourg, its E - Mark is E13/e13.

Since October 2002, it has been stipulated that all vehicles, vehicle parts, and electronic products used on vehicles must undergo mandatory EMC testing. All electronic components sold in Europe must comply with the EMC Directive 95/54/EC. Self - declaration based on the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC will no longer be valid. The E/eMark certificate will be issued by the notified body authorized by the EU for vehicle - related products. That is to say, the CE (EMC) certification originally applied for by vehicle - related electronics and electronic components will no longer be valid from October 2002. It is necessary to re - apply for the E/eMark certificate issued by the transportation department of European countries before it can be sold in the European market.
Certification Process
1. The manufacturer prepares technical documents and samples.
2. Conduct testing.
3. For the first application, a factory inspection is required.
(Manufacturers that have obtained quality system certificates such as ISO9000 issued by EU - certified institutions generally do not need to undergo a factory inspection).
4. Submit the test report and the manufacturer's technical documents for review.
5. The transportation department of European countries issues the certificate (The issuing authority may conduct regular or irregular follow - up factory inspections on the production enterprises of the certified products).
