CE Marking Directives, What is it?

The letters ‘CE’ on a product is a manufacturer’s claim that their product meets the requirements of all relevant European Directives.

CE marking on a product:

Indicates to governments that the product can be legally sold within the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Area (EFTA)
Ensures the product can move freely throughout the European Single Market
Indicates to customers that the product meets designated minimum safety standards and therefore a minimum level of quality
Promotes public health and safety
Enhances product credibility
Leads to improved sales and greater customer satisfaction

CE marking is mandated by the EU New Approach Directives. Many products are covered by these directives, and to be placed on the market in the EU, some must bear CE marking. It’s a legal requirement.
