Intermediate2h 14m # CE Marking for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) The complete guide to CE marking unmanned aircraft systems for the EU market — from Regulation (EU) 2019/945 and the C0-C6 class marking system to notified body selection, technical documentation, and full post-market compliance. Shipping a drone into the EU with a "CE marking" affixed but no class identification label, assuming a consumer quadcopter is exempt because it "isn't a toy," or self-declaring a C2-class UAS that actually needed a notified body — these are the mistakes that get shipments stopped at customs, listings pulled from marketplaces, and products recalled after they're already in customers' hands. None of it is exotic. It's a process most manufacturers never had explained to them properly, and it's entirely avoidable once you understand what the regulation actually requires and in what order. This course teaches CE marking for unmanned aircraft systems from first principles to full practical compliance. You'll learn how Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 hands UAS product law to the European Commission, how Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 sets the essential requirements and the seven-class C0-C6 marking system, and how Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 splits every drone operation into the open, specific, and certified categories. You'll understand exactly which class your product falls into based on mass, speed, and function — and why the same airframe can sit in more than one class depending on which accessories ship with it. The course covers the three conformity assessment routes in detail — internal production control (Module A), EU-type examination with conformity to type (Module B plus C), and full quality assurance (Module H) — and the exact rule that determines when a notified body becomes mandatory rather than optional. You'll work through the EN 4709 harmonised standard series, the testing a UAS actually needs (electromagnetic compatibility, radio spectrum, acoustic noise, and physical safety), remote identification and geo-awareness firmware requirements, and how to assemble a technical documentation file and a Declaration of Conformity that will hold up under market surveillance. Labeling and class marks, choosing and working with a notified body, market surveillance and enforcement under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, operator registration under the operational rules, and the interaction between product law and operational law are all covered in depth. The final modules walk a complete CE marking project for a 4-kilogram inspection drone from classification through Declaration of Conformity, and close with a phased compliance action plan you can apply directly to your own product. Built on Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 as amended, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947, the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance, and the EN 4709 harmonised standard series as of this course's production. This course contains the use of artificial intelligence for asthetic purposes. * Includes the ebook edition, free * 6 downloadable resources included ## What you'll learn * Understand what EMC, radio spectrum, acoustic noise, and safety testing your UAS actually needs before you book a lab * Implement remote identification and geo-awareness firmware that meets the technical requirements a notified body or your own conformity assessment will check * Apply CE and class identification labels correctly, and write instructions that meet Annex III's requirements * Select and work with a notified body without losing months to avoidable back-and-forth * Know how CE marking product law interacts with operator registration and the open, specific, and certified operational categories — and where the two systems actually meet ## Requirements * ·No prior CE marking or aviation regulatory experience required — the course builds from first principles * ·Familiarity with hardware product development is helpful but not essential * ·Drone manufacturers, importers, compliance leads, engineers, and startup founders targeting the EU market will all benefit $199.00 One-time purchase · Lifetime access · No subscription Less than one hour with a compliance consultant.
