What CE requirements apply to Indian electronics manufacturers exporting to the EU?

CE is a manufacturer's own declaration, not a certificate. Identify every applicable act, which for electronics is normally product safety, electromagnetic compatibility, radio equipment and low voltage together, compile the technical documentation and keep it for ten years, and sign the declaration of conformity listing each act and standard relied on.

Is a BIS or ISI certificate accepted as CE marking in the EU?

No. BIS is a third-party registration scheme and CE is a self-declaration by the manufacturer against Union legislation. Test reports can often be reused, but the declaration, the technical documentation and the EU responsible person have to be built separately.

CE marking for Indian manufacturers

What does CE marking require of an Indian electronics manufacturer exporting to the EU?

Answer

CE marking is not a certificate and no body issues a general CE approval. It is a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets every piece of applicable Union harmonisation legislation. The manufacturer signs it and the manufacturer carries the liability, even where the goods are made in India and sold by an EU importer.

What has to be done

Establish which directives and regulations apply: one product commonly falls under general product safety, electromagnetic compatibility, radio equipment, low voltage, ecodesign and batteries at the same time.
Compile the technical documentation and keep it for ten years; the EU responsible person must be able to produce it on request.
Sign the EU declaration of conformity and list each legal act and harmonised standard relied on, item by item.
Involve a notified body only where the applicable act requires it; for most electronics, self-assessment against harmonised standards is the route.
Products with digital elements also carry the essential cybersecurity requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act; leaving them out invalidates the declaration.
