The marking signifies a product complies with EU safety, health and environmental protection standards.<\/span><\/p>\n In a way, the CE marking acts as a \u201cpassport\u201d for your device or other product, allowing it to go on sale not just in one European country, but in all European Union member states and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (non-EU countries that are part of the EEA).<\/span><\/p>\n Our list of <\/span>countries that require the CE mark<\/span><\/a> provides a complete list of countries in which you can market your device after achieving CE compliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re an electronic device manufacturer, it\u2019s important to understand what the CE marking is, as well as the key role it plays in accessing the EU market. It\u2019s also important to understand the limitations of the CE mark, including when it isn\u2019t required for electrical devices.<\/span><\/p>\n Below, we\u2019ve explained what the CE marking is, as well as why it\u2019s required for devices sold in the European Economic Area.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve also discussed situations in which acquiring the CE mark may not be necessary for your device.<\/span><\/p>\n For more information about CE compliance, or to request a quote for CE testing, contact us via email<\/span><\/a> or call us at 866-540-5287.<\/span><\/p>\n The CE marking, or CE mark, is a logo that\u2019s placed on products to indicate that they have met the standards set by the European Commission. It stands for Conformit\u00e9 Europ\u00e9enne, which is French for \u201cEuropean Conformity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In total, there are 23 directives established by the European Commission. These directives set standards that apply to products sold within the European Economic Area, including electronic devices and equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Acquiring the CE mark for your device involves completing <\/span>CE testing<\/span><\/a> with an accredited testing lab, submitting a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), and affixing the CE mark to your product and its packaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Almost all electronic devices sold in the EEA need the CE mark. However, there are some rare cases in which a CE mark may not be required for a product to go on sale in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n The European Union\u2019s conformity directives have a broad application. However, there are some situations in which a CE marking isn\u2019t required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With some exceptions, the CE marking is only required for products sold within the European Economic Area. If you plan to market your electronic device in the United States, for example, there is no requirement to comply with European Union standards and receive a CE mark.<\/span><\/p>\n One exception to this rule is Turkey, which despite not being a member of the European Union or European Economic Area, requires a CE marking for certain products due to its membership in the European Customs Union.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is the CE Marking?<\/span><\/h2>\n
