◉ Certification Introduction
CE certification is the EU's certification for safety management and control, ensuring the most basic safety guarantee for products, that is, it is limited to the basic safety requirements that the product does not endanger the safety of humans, animals and goods, rather than general quality requirements. The coordination directive only specifies the main requirements. General instruction requirements are standard tasks. Therefore, the precise meaning is: CE mark is a safety mark rather than a quality mark. It is the "main requirement" that forms the core of the European Directive.
The "CE" mark is a safety certification mark and is regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open and enter the European market. CE stands for CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE.
In the EU market, the "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark. Whether it is a product produced by an enterprise within the EU or a product produced in other countries, in order to circulate freely in the EU market, the "CE" mark must be affixed to indicate that the product Comply with the basic requirements of the EU Directive on New Approaches to Technical Harmonization and Standardization. This is a mandatory requirement for products under EU law. All products affixed with the "CE" mark can be sold in EU member states without meeting the requirements of each member state, thus realizing the free circulation of goods within the EU member states.
