CE mark is a self reported thing.

TüV and UL are more reliable, but they are still a minimum standard of safety, not a sign of quality.

Are you talking the Conformite Europe Mark? Or the all but identical China Export Mark?

(Now I'm expecting some Bitcoin "investor" to jump in with "blockchain all the certification marks!" as though that'd solve the problem of people not caring...)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking#China_Export

'The Commission responded that it was unaware of the existence of any "Chinese Export" mark'

This legend has to stop. CE is a self declaration marking, and it's just people applying the CE marking when they have not respected the relevant standards.

CE = Conformite Europe = "We promise we meet all the safety standards, scout's honor!"

Just be careful so you don't get sued for trademark infringement by 2 Chainz.
