The CE Mark is a requirement for products sold to the European Market. The CE mark (an acronym for the French "Conformite Europeene") certifies that a product has met EU health, safety, and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer and workplace safety. Once a manufacturer has earned a CE mark for its product, he may affix the CE mark to his product, and then the product may be marketed throughout the European Union without having to undergo further modifications in each member state.
