CE marking is a crucial product compliance mark that is recognised legally in twenty-seven European Union countries, the European Free Trade Area, and Switzerland.
The CE marking abbreviation stands for “Conformité Européenne,” which means European Conformity in French. It is mandatory for a wide range of products, including most construction-related products, to have the CE marking.
The Declaration of Performance (DOP) is the essential document that supports the CE marking as it contains comprehensive information about the manufacturer, the product, and its performance. However, it is important to note that the CE label is just a brief summary of the information provided in the Declaration of Performance (DOP) document.
