A CE certificate (Conformité Européenne) is a certification mark indicating that a product meets the essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements set by European Union (EU) regulations. It is mandatory for certain product categories sold within the EU, including machinery, electronics, toys, and medical devices. The CE mark ensures that the product complies with EU legislation and can be legally marketed and sold in EU member states. To obtain CE certification, manufacturers must perform a conformity assessment, which may involve product testing, quality control, and third-party evaluations. The CE mark is also recognized outside of the EU, signaling that the product meets internationally accepted standards for safety and quality
