\"CE<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Children’s toys, household appliances, electronic equipment… <\/span>Countless products are marketed with the CE marking, <\/b>including lifting platforms<\/a>. <\/span> <\/p>\n

This is a mandatory marking in the European Union that represents proof that the product has been evaluated and meets the safety, health and environmental protection requirements required by the European Union. This marking <\/span>is valid for products manufactured both inside and outside the European Economic Area <\/b>(EEA).<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not a mark of origin. I mean <\/span> it does not mean that it has been manufactured in the European Union<\/b> , but that the product that has been placed on the EU market complies with European safety legislation. <\/span> <\/p>\n

The European CE marking<\/a><\/span> was created in 2006 to certify that a product complies with safety standards <\/b> within this zone. But there is another logo that can be confused with the legal one, although it does not really correspond at all to this brand. Shortly after the appearance of the European brand, <\/span>Some Chinese companies came together to create a similar brand <\/b>but with a very different meaning (China Export). What do each of them refer to and how can they be distinguished? <\/span><\/p>\n

European CE marking<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The letters CE are an abbreviation and come from the French “Conformit\u00e9 Europ\u00e9enne”, which means “European Conformity”.<\/strong> This marking is designed by the two letters C and E, which have certain proportions, with a minimum vertical dimension of 5 millimeters. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"CE<\/a><\/p>\n

These letters must be placed on the product or on its descriptive plaque in a visible and legible way. In addition, they must be followed by the identification number of the Notified Body involved. <\/span><\/p>\n

This does not mean that the product has passed any control or implied warranty by any authority. It only shows that the manufacturer confirms and acknowledges that their product is safe and that it complies with the European standards that it is obliged to apply. <\/span><\/p>\n

How do I get the CE marking?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

To obtain this mark, two steps can be followed:<\/span><\/p>\n
