What is CE Marking Found on Electronic Devices?

The letters "CE" are the abbreviation of French phrase "Conformité Européene" which literally means "European Conformity". CE marking is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area, also found on products sold outside the EEA that are manufactured in, or designed to be sold in, the EEA.
It indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area
