CEapproved

CEapproved refers to a product that has been manufactured in accordance with the relevant European health, safety, and environmental protection legislation. The CE marking is a conformity marking that indicates a product meets these European Union (EU) directives and regulations. It is not a quality mark or a certification of origin, but rather a declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with all applicable EU requirements.

The CE marking is required for a wide range of products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes the EU member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. These products can include anything from toys and electronics to medical devices and personal protective equipment. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products meet the necessary standards and for affixing the CE marking themselves. This process often involves self-assessment or the involvement of a Notified Body, an independent organization designated by an EU country to assess the conformity of certain products.

When a product displays the CE marking, it signifies that it has undergone the appropriate conformity assessment procedures and can be legally sold in the EEA. Consumers can rely on the CE marking as an indication that the product is safe and meets essential EU standards. Importers are also responsible for ensuring that products they bring into the EEA from outside bear the CE marking and are accompanied by the necessary documentation.
