CE Marking Certification
CE Marking is a certification that indicates a product meets the European Union's safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. It is mandatory for many products sold within the EU and serves as a symbol of compliance, allowing free movement within the European Economic Area (EEA).
GlobalCert supports CE Marking compliance with AI-powered auditing tools that streamline conformity assessment, identify gaps, and ensure readiness for market entry.
