The CE marking indicates that a product complies with applicable EU health, safety, and environmental protection legislation. It must be applied to products sold in the European Economic Area. To obtain the CE marking, manufacturers or importers must ensure the product conforms to all relevant EU standards, decide if self-evaluation or a notified body assessment is required, sign a declaration of conformity, and compile a technical dossier demonstrating compliance. The CE marking allows for the free circulation of products within the EEA markets.
