CE marking is a mark that must be affixed to certain commercial products to indicate that the manufacturer or importer affirms the goods' conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.

The mark is not a quality indicator or a certification mark. The CE marking is required for goods sold in the European Economic Area (EEA); goods sold elsewhere may also carry the mark.

The mark indicates that the product may be traded freely in any part of the European Economic Area, regardless of its country of origin. It consists of the CE letter pair and, if applicable, the four digit identification number of the notified body involved in the conformity assessment procedure.
