CE marking is an administrative marking that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).
It is not a quality indicator or a certification mark. The CE marking is also found on products sold outside the EEA that have been manufactured to EEA standards. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area.
It is in that sense like the FCC Declaration of Conformity used for selling certain electronic devices in the United States.The CE marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that the product meets EU standards for health, safety, and environmental protection.
