The CE standard is a declaration of conformity of the product with the EU laws. CE stands for Conformité Européene which means “European Conformity”. The CE standard mark is a certification mark used on certain types of products that conform to European Union rules and standards regarding health, safety and environmental protection.
CE mark, CE standard is an enforceable mark that indicates the conformity of the products with the defined standards of the European Union including (health, safety and environmental protection) for the product sold in the European Economic Area. The CE mark is also found on products sold outside the European Economic Area that are manufactured to the EEA standard.The CE standard states that the products that are bought and sold in the European Economic Area (EEA) are evaluated in terms of safety and environmental health in order to confirm the safety conditions of the products.

The CE standard was compiled and published by the European Union based on the directives and executive regulations, so the applicant for the CE mark certificate must comply with the requirements of the European CE standard in their collection based on the above, and then apply for the CE mark.European CE standard requirements are developed and published by Nando’s European Accreditation Association, and these requirements must be met by the manufacturer so that the manufactured product meets the minimum standards required to enter or exit the European Economic Union.
The CE mark is a mandatory sign that the relevant products are placed on the market of EU member states and in the European Economic Area. To prove that the product complies with the criteria set out in the directive or directive, the manufacturer must first produce a certificate from the European Union and then place the CE mark on the product. These criteria mainly focus on safety, public health and consumer protection.
The countries of the European Union and the European Economic Area have bilateral obligations:
• Check whether the manufacturer is justified in placing the products on the market in accordance with the essential requirements of this directive
• Ensuring the free circulation of CE marked products regardless of origin
Applying the CE mark to a product is the responsibility of the manufacturer, depending on the nature of the risks involved in the product, or is carried out under third-party conformity assessment and conformity checks. In short, all products covered by the new approach directive must bear the CE mark.

Identification of the CE certification authority:
CE certification authorities called Notified Bodies or NBs for short are identified by a four-digit code.
NBs must be confirmed by Nando’s website and all NB details can be seen on Nando’s website. Click to know the list of NBs.
