When is a CE label required for my product?
CE Markings are only intended for use on products that have undergone the appropriate certification testing in order to be sold to EU Member States. It is important to review international regulations specific to your industry before attempting sale in another country.
What type of information should be on a CE label?
Along with the CE Logo, manufacturers are expected to provide basic traceability information, such as a lot number or manufacturing date. Additionally, a manufacturer typically will need to include manufacturing or assembly location, a product description, and/or applicable safety information. In certain cases, specific conformity information (e.g. Standards or Governing Bodies) may be required to be visible along with the CE Logo.
