CE Marking

A mark a manufacturer applies to declare that a product meets EU requirements, extended by the AI Act to certain high-risk AI systems.

CE marking signals that a product conforms to applicable EU legislation and may be sold across the European market. The EU AI Act brings qualifying high-risk AI systems into this framework, so after a successful conformity assessment the provider affixes the CE mark and draws up a declaration of conformity.

The mark is the visible end point of the compliance process, backed by technical documentation that authorities can inspect.

Terms matter when they become defensible work.
