A product's CE marking indicates that it conforms to European Union regulations. CE marking is required for products sold in the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes all EU member countries, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

The CE marking itself is a label that can be affixed to a product or its packaging. The mark certifies that the product has met the requirements of all applicable directives and regulations under European law.

Companies who comply with the directives and regulations can affix their own identifying mark onto the CE label. The CE Mark for Medical Devices is not a stand-alone symbol, but is instead a combination of letters and numbers that indicate where the product was made and what standards it complies with.

• CE marking confirms that a product has been designed, manufactured and put into service in compliance with the essential requirements for health, safety and environmental protection.
• CE marking allows for a single market to exist without trade barriers.
• It allows manufacturers to sell their products across the entire European Union without needing to obtain approval from each country’s regulatory body.
• CE marking is sometimes referred to as a “Community Mark” because it certifies compliance with European standards and eliminates the need for individual product approvals in each country.

CE marking is a mandatory requirement for all products sold in Europe. It stands for Conformité Européenne, and it means that the product has met the requirements set by European law. CE marking isn't just about quality control—it also protects consumers from potential dangers.

In addition to ensuring safety, CE marking helps companies make sure that their products meet all of the standards required by European law. This means companies can make sure they're not being unfairly competitive against other businesses within Europe.

If you are planning on marketing electrical devices in Europe, it is a worthwhile endeavor to consider CE marking. The European Union sets its own standards for the designs of these electrical devices; this is especially true for equipment that would be deemed potentially dangerous if faulty.

By marketing a product with the CE Mark displayed, you can assure consumers that it meets the highest standards and will not cause any undue danger.
