products sold or traded on the European market can be
certified by the manufacturer or exporter. This process is
called self-certification, meaning that if the product is in
compliance with the required directives it can be affixed
with a CE mark.At
present, only 10 percent of all products which must comply
with European regulations require testing by a European
Notified Body.
The CE Mark on a product
indicates that the product complies with the fundamental
safety and environmental requirements imposed by European
legislation. The producer may only supply products that can
be used safely by the end consumer.
