CE certification is a mandatory certification in the EU market (EU member states/Turkey) and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. Whether it is a product produced by an EU enterprise or a product produced in another country, if it wants to circulate freely on the EU market, it must be affixed with the “CE” mark to show that the product conforms to the basic requirements of the EU’s “New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standardization” directive Claim. This is a mandatory requirement of EU law on products.
Note: CE is only limited to the basic safety requirements for products that do not endanger the safety of humans, animals and goods, rather than general quality requirements.
27 EU member states: Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden.
The meaning of the CE mark
The product with the CE acronym as the symbol affixed with the CE mark meets the main requirements of the relevant European directives and is used to verify that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedure and/or the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, and is truly allowed to enter the product Pass for sales in the European Community market. Industrial products that require the CE mark to be affixed by the relevant directives shall not be marketed without the CE mark. Products that have been affixed with the CE mark to enter the market and found not to meet the safety requirements shall be ordered to be taken back from the market. Those who continue to violate the CE mark provisions of the directive will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market.
