Products that fall under EU-directive for CE-marking may only be sold within the EU respectively be imported into the EU if there is a visible CE-mark shown on the product. More than 80% of all industry- and consumer products are affected by this directive so that their sale without CE mark is not allowed within the EU.
The necessary tests and analyses are only conducted by accredited organizations. The SGS-TÜV Saar belongs to these accredited organizations and carries an own number for the CE mark registered in Brussels.
