We are passionate about helping companies to get the CE marking for their products. We are committed to making the complex CE marking certification process more transparent and easy to understand. We try to do this by explaining the rules in plain language. And by providing easy to use tools that enable you to manage the CE marking yourself. We encourage you to take control over your CE marking projects, ending your dependency on CE testing and certification bodies. You will save a lot of time and money, and dramatically increase your CE certification success rate when you are better prepared to apply the rules and requirements. The information on our website, as well as the services we offer, are dedicated to empowering you to take charge of CE marking, and to stay updated on the latest developments that affect your products' compliance.

The term initially used was "EC Mark" and it was officially replaced by "CE Marking" in the Directive 93/68/EEC in 1993. "CE Marking" is now used in all European Union official documents.
CE Marking on a product is a manufacturer's declaration that the product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation, in practice by many of the so-called Product Directives.
