The “CE” mark is now mandatory for a wide range of products sold in the European Union. CE marking (an acronym for the French "Conformite Europeenne") certifies that a product has met EU health, safety, and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety.

Because there is no comprehensive list of the products that require CE marking, it is the manufacturer's responsibility to determine if their product requires a CE mark. The "New Approach Directives" are documents that contain the legislation issued by the European Commission on the requirements that need to be met and procedures that must be followed in order for a particular product to be CE marked for sales in the EU.

For example, the Safety of Machinery directive, the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive, and the Low Voltage Equipment directive may all apply to one product. Many of the CE marking directives allow manufacturers to self-certify their products. Some examples for which manufacturers
