CE MARKING
European Product
Directives set minimum safety standards for products. Products must
conform with these standards before they are allowed on the European
market or before they are first put into service in the European
Economic Area ( EEA). The famous "CE marking" is the symbol that indicates a product's compliance with all applicable Directives.

the markets of all other EU nations which makes the CE mark a key
ingredient in removing barriers to trade within the European

within the member states created the perception of a barrier to trade.
