CE-Kennzeichnung

The CE marking (Communaute Europeenne) indicates that a product complies with the applicable European directives with regard to safety and the protection of health, the environment and consumers and that the necessary tests have been carried out and passed. The CE marking is not a test seal, but an administrative mark which expresses the free marketability of industrial products in the European internal market which have been marked accordingly. It is the European counterpart to the UL Mark. The difference, however, is that manufacturers usually simply declare their compliance with CE regulations on their own initiative, while UL's independent certification precedes the award of the UL Mark. A product with the CE symbol can therefore also have a seal of approval such as the UL test mark. Back
