What is the meaning of "CE" printed on electronic goods?

The CE mark (officially CE marking) is a mandatory marking on certain products, which is required if they are placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA). By affixing the CE marking, the manufacturer, or its representative, or the importer assures that the item meets all the essential requirements of all applicable EU directives. Examples of European Directives requiring CE marking include toy safety, machinery, low-voltage equipment, R&TTE, and EM compatibility. There are about 25 Directives requiring CE marking.

    CE is not abbreviation for any but refers to set of rules for Quality Assurance practised in European countries.
    CE is Conformity Marking, and New Approach Directives that is
    essential information for any manufacturer or distributor wishing to trade in the European Union.
    CE Marking can be regarded as a product’s trade passport for Europe.

    The prime aim of the CE Directive is to ensure that "all industrial products that are placed on the market do not compromise the safety and health of users when properly installed, maintained and used in accordance with their intended purpose.
