What is CE certification?

CE certification is limited to essential safety requirements that do not endanger human, animal, and goods safety, rather than general quality requirements. The harmonized directive only stipulates the main requirements, and the general directive requirements are the tasks of the standards. Therefore, the accurate meaning is: the CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark. It constitutes the core of the European directive's "main requirements."

 

The "CE" mark is a safety certification mark and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. CE stands for "Conformité Européenne," which means European Conformity.

 

In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark. Regardless of whether the products are produced by enterprises within the EU or other countries, to freely circulate in the EU market, the "CE" mark must be affixed to show that the product complies with the basic requirements of the EU's "Technical Harmonization and Standardization New Approach" directive. This is a mandatory requirement of EU law for products.
