| 237558 | 2004-05-18 12:16:00 | Hi All Most consumer electronics (PDAs, DVD Players . . . ) have the CE symbol printed on the chassis, instruction manual etc . What does this stand for, mean, imply?? Thanks |

All electrical devices sold in the European Union (EU) must be manufactured corresponding to the state of electrical safety technology and must not endanger persons or property when being used correctly. By attaching the CE symbol to the product, the manufacturer is confirming that its product conforms with the requirements corresponding with the EU guidelines applicable for the product, in particular, that all safety requirements have been met. In addition, the observance of the applicable standards is documented in the form of a written CE conformity declaration. |

| 237564 | 2004-05-19 05:53:00 | Impossible question . Each particular item falls under a specific category, each category has a set of Standards to adhere to for CE certification . Obviously your leather jacket would have a different set of tests to your keyboard as an example . "CE" (Certified Europe) is a mark applied to an end-use product certifying that the product meets "applicable directives" . CE is the result of the "harmonisation" or unification of European safety and other standards . Each type of end-use equipment has "applicable directives" which must be met in order to display the CE mark . So there are no single tests for all products . There are a huge range of tests for some products and sod all for others . |
