CE marking is a certification mark
that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). The letters "CE" stand for "Conformité Européenne," which means "European Conformity" in French. CE marking is required for many types of products, including medical devices, toys, electrical equipment, machinery, and construction products, to name just a few examples. The specific requirements for CE marking depend on the type of product and the applicable CE marking directive or regulations.
A CE-mark consultancy is a company or individual that provides expert advice, guidance, or assistance to businesses or organizations in the process of obtaining CE marking for their products. This may include helping organizations to understand the requirements for CE marking, developing and implementing a quality management system (QMS) that meets those requirements, and preparing the necessary documentation and test reports to demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards. Some CE-mark consultancies may also offer training and support to help organizations maintain their QMS and continue to meet the requirements for CE marking over time.
