The presence of the logo The letters C and E in a stylised ligature. The E is a lunate epsilon, shaped like a letter C with a horizontal bar. (from French, "conformité européenne" meaning "European conformity")[2] on commercial products indicates that the manufacturer or importer affirms the goods' conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.[3]: 58  It is not a quality indicator or a certification mark.[4] The CE marking is required for goods sold in the European Economic Area (EEA); goods sold elsewhere may also carry the mark.

The CЄ mark indicates that the product may be traded freely in any part of the European Economic Area, regardless of its country of origin. It consists of the CE logo and, if applicable, the four digit identification number of the notified body involved in the conformity assessment procedure.
