CE Certification

About CE Marking Certification

CE stands for “Conformitè Europëenne," which translates to “European Conformity." For a product to be accepted into the European business market, it must have this mark. CE Marking Certification guarantees that the product and its packaging meet European safety and quality requirements. CE Certification certifies to buyers that a product has been created in conformity with European health, safety, and environmental requirements. This European conformity certification guarantees that the certified product can be freely sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).

CE Marking Certification guarantees that the product is safe, defect-free, and of the greatest quality available. Furthermore, CE Certification in Vietnam enhances the legitimacy of your company and improves your brand image. The CE mark consists of a logo and the four-digit identification number of the Notified Body involved in the conformity assessment procedure (if applicable).

Purpose of CE Certification

The goal of CE mark certification is to show that products comply with the criteria for safety, health, and environmental protection in Europe.
