Conformité Européenne (CE) certification is a regulatory standard that shows a product’s conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection requirements. Products with CE markings can be freely traded within the EAA. The manufacturer bears the sole responsibility for declaring conformity with all of the legal requirements to obtain the CE marking.
The product does not have to be made in the EEA. CE marking means that it satisfies the legislative requirements needed to be placed in the market.
The provisions of directives dictate which products require CE marking. These directives have different requirements, and some products may be subject to several requirements at the same time.
