What is CE marking?

• Enables free movement of goods around EU member States


(some non EU countries have adopted CE marking procedures)

• Places responsibility with the manufacturer or importer of goods;


whoever places the equipment on the market

• Relates to EU Directives (European Law)

• Primarily “self certification”

• Not evidence of compliance in itself

Consumers and retailers may associate CE marking


with “quality”. Actually it has nothing to do with quality!
