CE Marking

Conformite Europeenne — European Conformity Marking

CE Marking is a mandatory conformity marking for products sold in the European Economic Area (EEA). It indicates that a product meets EU safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

Standard status: CE marking is a manufacturer's declaration of conformity with the applicable EU legislation. A notified body is required only where the relevant directive or regulation specifies third-party assessment. Official source ↗
