1. CE Marking
Forget croissants—CE marking is the real non-negotiable in France. This EU-wide certification proves your product meets safety, health, and environmental standards.
What You Need to Test:
Electrical Safety: Displays near windows face weather risks. Ensure insulation, grounding, and surge protection meet EN 62368-1 standards.
EMC Compliance: No interference with nearby electronics (e.g., café Wi-Fi, car systems). Your displays must work smoothly in electromagnetic environments (tested to EN 55032/35).
How to Get It:
Hire an EU-accredited lab (e.g., TÜV, SGS) for rigorous testing.
Prepare technical docs (circuit diagrams, material lists).
No CE mark = No market entry. Period.
2. ErP Directive
France slaps energy hogs with penalties. The ErP Directive demands your displays sip power, not guzzle it.
Key Requirements:
Energy Limits: Displays running 24/7? Use LED backlighting and auto-brightness sensors to cut consumption.
Labeling: Display energy class (A-G) clearly on packaging and specs.
Pro Tip: Add a "sleep mode" feature—French retailers love eco-friendly tech that lowers their utility bills.
3. RoHS
France bans hazardous substances in electronics. Your displays must pass RoHS checks.
Banned Stuff:
Lead, mercury, cadmium.
Specific flame retardants (PBB, PBDE).
Action Steps:
Audit suppliers for RoHS-compliant components (e.g., solder, PCBs).
Keep lab test reports handy for customs inspections.
