What is CE marking and why do I need it?

CE marking is the product manufacturer’s claim that a product meets the essential requirements of all relevant European directives or regulations. These directives or regulations outline the safety and performance requirements for certain products that are placed on the market in the European Union (EU). The CE mark is a legal requirement for certain products placed on the market in the EU.
