About CE marking for medical devices Many products require CE marking before they can be sold in the EU. CE marking indicates that a product has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. The CE marking affixed to a medical device demonstrates compliance with the EU legislation in force and therefore can be made available for distribution or use, e.g. to a distributor, healthcare professional or patient.
