CE Marking | What is CE Marking?

CE marking is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985. CE Marking is found even on products sold outside the EEA, because they are either products manufactured in the EEA and have been exported, or they were manufactured in other countries which have EEA as a prime market. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area.

It consists of the CE-Logo and, if applicable, the four digit identification number of the notified body involved in the conformity assessment procedure.

CE marking is a symbol of free marketability in the European Economic Area (Internal Market), and with the manufacturer’s declaration, the assumption that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC Directives.

The evaluation of conformity is based on:

  • The activities performed by the manufacturer in the scope of the factory production control, including the design and development of the products, where required;
  •  The activities carried-out by a third party (usually a Notified Body), which may include, among others, EC type examination and approval of quality assurance or product system, combined with the activities of the manufacturers in the factory production control.
