CE Marking 

CE Telephone 

For competent first hand information in matters of CE marking experts of the VDE Testing and Certification Institute are available to companies and consumers in the frame of our CE Telephone service. The incentive for the introduction were irritations observed during the introduction phase of mandatory CE marking. CE marking is administrative marking which can be affixed by the manufacturers themselves and which indicates conformity of a product with EC Directives to authorities. In spite of the fact that it is not directed to the consumer and that it is not a quality indicator, in practice CE marking is often mistaken as a certification mark.
For proof of the overall safety of a product by virtue of compliance with relevant safety standards, furtheron the voluntary testing and certification by independent institutions such as the VDE Institute is necessary. Only marks for safety and quality attestations such as the VDE Marks Approval Certificate reassure the manufacturer about compliance with legal requirements of product safety and environmental issues as well as the end user with respect to compliance with the acknowledged rules of technology.
