Product Introduction
CE certification is limited to the basic safety requirements concerning products not endangering the safety of humans, animals and goods, rather than general quality requirements. Harmonization directives specify only the main requirements; general directive requirements are the task of standards. Therefore, the precise meaning is: the CE mark is a safety conformity mark rather than a quality conformity mark. These are the ”main requirements” that form the core of European directives. [1] The “CE” mark is a safety certification mark, regarded as a passport for manufacturers to open up and enter the European market. CE stands for European Conformity (CONFORMITE EUROPEENNE). In the EU market, the “CE” mark is a mandatory certification mark. Whether products are manufactured by enterprises within the EU or in other countries, they must bear the “CE” mark to circulate freely in the EU market, indicating that the products meet the basic requirements of the EU directive on the “New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standardization.” This is a mandatory requirement imposed on products by EU law.
