CE approved?

[gummiely]

Would someone mind explaining what "CE approved" means? Is this important information for a consumer to know?

i've never heard of that and google is no help, it keeps giving me links to information on motorcycle riders' armor.
i'd assume it's nothing important, you'd know what it meant if it was.

I believe it stands for Canadian Electronics. (or something very similiar to that) Like the FCC in the united states. Since products are sold both places, they need to be approved by both agencies.

My bad, its not that at all.

Look here

Its something for the European Union

Interesting.. thanks for the feedback. I probably should have mentioned at first that this "ce approved" marking is commonly seen on cases and power supplies.
