Attaining Your CE Mark for Your Medical Device in the EU

The letters ‘CE’ appear on many products that are traded on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA). By placing the CE mark on a product, a manufacturer is declaring, on his sole responsibility, conformity with all of the legal requirements necessary to achieve CE marking status. With that mark, the manufacturer is ensuring validity for that product to be sold throughout the EEA. CE marking does not mean that a product was made in the EEA, but states that the product is assessed before being placed on the market. It means the product satisfies the legislative requirements to be sold there.
