          CE marking

  • A mandatory European product marking and certification system.
  • A kind of trade passport for the European marketplace.
  • Must be affixed in 18 countries of the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • Must be affixed by visibility, legibility, and indelibly.
  • Height: at least 5 mm.
