CE Marking in the European Arena
Friday, August 29th, 2008Just like the U.S. UL mark shows conformity to electrical wiring safety standards, the ce conformity marking makes sure companies follow health and safety requirements set out in European regulations. To permit the use of a CE mark on a product, proof that the item meets the relevant requirements must be documented. Sometimes this is achieved using an external test house which evaluates the product and its documentation.
Something similar, the E mark, is used on motor vehicles and their components.
