European Conformity
The CE marking indicates that the product on which it is fitted complies with the requirements of all EG directives applicable to this product.
The CE marking is primarily not a consumption indicator. It serves as an „EU passport“ for this product. This means that this product may be placed on the market in any Member State within the EU, unless it is obvious that the CE marking has been abused.

The CE mark is usually affixed by the manufacturer himself. Together with a so-called EC Declaration of Conformity, it certifies that it has complied with the essential health and safety requirements of the relevant EC Directives when manufacturing the product. For sunglasses and drilling machines, such a manufacturer’s declaration is, for example, sufficient.
If the danger potential is high, Eg in the case of breathing apparatus or climbing harnesses, the EC type-examination for the product requires additional measures up to the inspection of each product by the notified body. This is apparent to the consumer at the CE marking and the 4-digit code of the notified body.
