How to Check a CE Mark
|
Instructions:
Look on the item for the CE mark. It is almost always
located on the bottom of the article. According to the Wellkang Tech Consulting
website, the logo is made up of a rounded letter "C" and a rounded
letter "E," located beside one another. The mark must be at least 5
mm high. The presence of the logo means that the item conforms to EU standards.
However, there are a few instances when the manufacturer or importer is not
required to place the logo on a particular article. If you cannot find the CE
mark, there are other ways to check.
Check the instruction booklet or any other printed material
that came with the item. According to the Conformance website, the CE mark may
be here. In cases where the logo cannot be placed directly on an item, it must
be located on these materials. However, in some cases there are no accompanying
printed materials. If this is the case, there is another place where the CE
mark might be found.
Examine the packaging that the item came in. The
Conformance website states that the CE mark may be there. If the mark is not in
any of the three places you have checked, you can assume that the article has
not received EU approval and it may not legally be sold in any EU country.
