CE certification, the abbreviation of "Conformité Européenne", is a certification mark issued by the European Union (EU) to indicate that the product complies with the relevant regulations and standards of the European internal market and has certain safety, quality and environmental protection performance. CE certification is an important proof for the sale and circulation of products in the European market.
In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a compulsory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU or a product produced in other countries, if it wants to circulate freely in the EU market, it must be affixed with the "CE" mark to indicate that the product complies with the basic requirements of the EU's "New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standardization" directive. This is a mandatory requirement for products imposed by EU law.
The CE mark is a safety mark, not a quality mark. It emphasizes that the product meets the basic safety requirements of the EU directive.
The CE mark is the cornerstone of the free flow of goods in the EU market. By ensuring that the product meets the basic requirements of the EU directive, the CE mark eliminates the need for products to meet the specific requirements of each member state, thereby achieving the free flow of goods within the EU.
Products with the CE mark are considered to meet the basic requirements of the EU "New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standardization" directive, which is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law.
Emphasize that the CE mark is a safety mark, not a quality mark. It focuses on the basic requirements of the product's safety for humans, animals and goods, rather than general quality requirements.
CE certification is required for sales and customs clearance in the European Economic Area (EEA) and e-commerce platforms, and Turkey is another one.
