CE certification

The "CE" mark is a safety certification mark that is considered a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. CE stands for European unity. All products with the "CE" mark can be sold in various member states of the European Union without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus achieving free circulation of goods within the EU member states. Simply put, CE certification is a mandatory certification for products entering the European market.

CE certification mark

1、 Introduction to CE certification

CE certification is the "main requirement" that constitutes the core of the European Directive. In the Resolution on New Methods of Technical Coordination and Standards (85/C136/01) of the European Community on May 7, 1985, it has a specific meaning for the "main requirement" that needs to be used as the purpose of formulating and implementing the Directive, which is limited to basic safety requirements that do not endanger the safety of humans, animals, and goods, rather than general quality requirements. The Harmonized Directive only specifies the main requirements, General instruction requirements are standard tasks. If the product meets the main requirements of relevant directives, it can be accompanied by the CE mark, without ruling whether to use the CE mark according to the general quality regulations of relevant standards. The accurate meaning is that the CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark. It is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. Products with the "CE" logo can be sold in various EU member states without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus achieving free circulation of goods within the EU member states.

The word CE, abbreviated from the French word 'Communate Europene', means the European Community. The European Community later evolved into the European Union (EU).

2、 The Meaning of the CE Mark

The meaning of the CE mark is to use the CE abbreviation as a symbol to indicate that the product with the CE mark complies with the essential requirements specified in the relevant European directives, and to confirm that the product has passed the corresponding conformity assessment procedures and/or the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, truly becoming a passport for the product to be allowed to enter the European Community market for sale.

Industrial products that require the CE mark to be affixed in accordance with the relevant directives shall not be put on the market without the CE mark. Products that have already been affixed with the CE mark and enter the market shall be ordered to be withdrawn from the market if they do not meet safety requirements. Those that continue to violate the relevant CE mark provisions of the directive shall be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market. The CE mark is not a quality mark, it represents that the product has met the standards and directives of European safety/health/environmental protection/hygiene series All products sold in the European Union must be mandatory with the CE mark
