CE marking
Access to the whole of Europe
To protect consumers and to simplify goods movements within a united Europe, the European Union has defined health and safety requirements for various products. CE marking is obligatory for goods that fall under this directive. TÜV NORD CERT is a competent and acknowledged partner for the required tests – and opens the door to the European market for manufacturers.
CE stands for "Communauté Européenne" (French for "European Community"). The marking enables manufacturers to show that their products comply with the relevant European directives. CE-certified products can be sold and distributed throughout the entire EU without any additional national approvals. This removes considerable trade obstacles. The importer is responsible for the conformity and marking of products manufactured outside the EU.
CE marking is obligatory for
- Toys
- Building products
- Electrical devices
- Medical products
- Telecommunications devices
- Machines
- And much more
