European CE marking is a well known problem for non-European companies that seek to sell their products overseas. CEPartner4U’s Mr. Ton Pennings visited EuroDev to host a lunch and learn session. CEPartner4U is a worldwide based company that specializes in the services regarding CE marking.

The CE mark is a symbol that can be found on many products. The symbol indicates that the product suffices to the requirements of EU directives. Acquiring CE marking is a process that functions differently for every specific market, for which in some cases, a notified body is required.

CE Partner 4U has started a partnership with EuroDev to assist companies in acquiring the marking on their products.

Are you seeking to acquire CE marking or would you like to know more?
