What is CE Certification
I. Definition of CE Certification
CE certification, short for “Conformité Européenne,” is a certification mark issued by the European Union (EU). It signifies that a product conforms to relevant regulations and standards within the European internal market, demonstrating certain levels of safety, quality, and environmental performance.
Affixing the CE mark allows products to circulate freely within the European Economic Area without needing to meet each member state's individual technical standards. It also signifies that the manufacturer assumes full legal responsibility for product safety.
Therefore, it is evident that water meters, electricity meters, and gas meters must obtain CE certification to enter the EU/European market. For electricity meters, CE certification primarily focuses on electrical safety (e.g., protection against electric shock, overload, and short circuits), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) (ensuring meters function properly in electromagnetic environments without interfering with other devices), and environmental requirements (e.g., compliance with the RoHS Directive restricting the use of hazardous substances).
