What is CE Marking (CE Marking)

CE Marking (CE Marking) is a pass for products to enter the European Union for sale. In order to protect the safety of the lives and property of its members, the European Union has successively issued many safety directives, stipulating many products that need to be affixed with the CE mark, such as machinery, low-voltage electrical products, and electromagnetic compatibility products. Some products are even more mandatory to be verified by an approved verification agency. After obtaining the certificate, they will all be affixed with the CE mark and can only be sold in EU countries.

The "CE" mark is a safety inspection mark and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. All products affixed with the "CE" mark can be sold in the EU member states without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus realizing the free circulation of goods within the EU member states. In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a mandatory factory inspection mark. Whether it is a product produced by an EU enterprise, a PEFC certification or a product produced in another country, if you want to circulate freely on the EU market, you must affix the "CE" mark. To show that the product meets the basic requirements of the EU "New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standardization" directive. This is a mandatory requirement of EU law on products.

The word CE is abbreviated from the French "Com munate Europpene", which means the European Community. The European Community later evolved into the European Union (referred to as the European Union).

In recent years, in the products sold in the European Economic Area (European Union, European Free Trade Association member countries, except Switzerland), the use of CE marks has increased. The requirements expressed by a series of European directives such as environmental protection and consumer protection.

In the past, European Community countries have different requirements for imported and sold products. Products manufactured according to one country's standards may not be listed in other countries. As part of the effort to eliminate trade barriers, CE came into being. Therefore, CE stands for CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE. In fact, CE is also the abbreviation of the phrase "European Community" in many languages of the European Community. Originally, the English phrase EUROPEAN COMMUNITY was abbreviated as EC. Later, the European Community was COMMUNATE EUROPEIA in French and COMUNITA EUROPEA in Italian. , Portuguese is COMUNIDADE EUROPEIA, Spanish is COMUNIDADE EUROPE, etc., so EC is changed to CE. Of course, you might as well regard CE as CONFORMITY WITH EUROPEAN (DEMAND) (in line with Europe (requirements)). The significance of the CE mark is: the CE acronym is used as a symbol to indicate that the product affixed with the CE mark meets the essential requirements of the relevant European directives, and is used to verify that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and/or manufacturing The conformity declaration of the supplier has truly become a passport for the product to be allowed to enter the European Community market. The relevant directives require industrial products to be affixed with the CE mark. Without the CE mark, they shall not be sold on the market. Products that have been affixed with the CE mark and entered the market shall be ordered to be retracted from the market if they are found to not meet the safety requirements, and continue to violate the relevant CE marking requirements of the directive. , Will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market.
