Introduction to CE Certification

CE certification is a universal quality certification in the European Union.

Concept of CE Mark

The "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark affixed to goods sold in the European Economic Area (excluding the European Union, European Free Trade Association member states, and Switzerland) market. Products bearing the CE mark indicate compliance with the requirements expressed in a series of European directives on safety, hygiene, environmental protection, and consumer protection.

The word CE is derived from the abbreviation of the French word 'Communate Europppene', which means European Community. The European Community later evolved into the European Union (EU).

The significance of CE mark

The abbreviation CE is used as a symbol to indicate that products bearing the CE mark comply with the essential requirements of 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 pass for the product to be allowed to enter the European Community market for sale. Industrial products that are required by the directive to bear the CE mark shall not be put on the market without the CE mark. Products that have already been marked with the CE mark and entered the market shall be ordered to be withdrawn from the market if they do not meet safety requirements. Those who continue to violate the provisions of the directive regarding the CE mark will be restricted or banned from entering the EU market or forced to withdraw from the market.
