GTS provides CE, REACH, and ErP certification services for household refrigerators and freezers exported to the European Union.

I. Certification Requirements for Core Markets

1. European Market

• CE Certification:​ Covers the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
• REACH Regulation:​ Restricts the use of chemical substances and requires a material composition declaration.
• ErP Directive:​ Requires products to comply with energy efficiency labeling (A+++ to D rating) and eco-design standards.

II. Key Points in the Certification Process

• Electrical Safety Testing:​ Includes earth continuity, withstand voltage testing (e.g., 1500V/60s), and leakage current detection.
• Energy Efficiency Testing:​ Energy consumption tests (e.g., 24-hour power consumption) must be completed under standard operating conditions in designated laboratories.
• Factory Audit:​ Focuses on inspecting the quality control system of the production line and traceability capabilities (as required by SNI certification).

III. Emerging Trends and Recommendations

• Smart Upgrades:​ Refrigerators with WiFi functionality require additional wireless radio frequency certifications (such as FCC/ANATEL).
• Green Certification:​ Pay attention to policies such as the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and prioritize the use of eco-friendly refrigerants (such as R600a).

Note: Specific certification requirements need to be dynamically adjusted according to the target market. It is recommended to entrust a professional organization (such as GTS) for compliance assessment.
