CE MARKING

CE is an abbreviation of the phrase “Conformité Européenne”, and stands for CE Marking.

CE Marking certification shows that the product complies with European Union (EU) legislation and allows such product to be circulated freely in the European market. By affixing the CE marking to a product, the manufacturer declares on their own responsibility that the product meets all legal requirements for CE Marking
