CE is the abbreviation of French, which means “European Conformity European COMMUNITY” in English. In fact, CE is the abbreviation of the phrase “European COMMUNITY” in many countries of the European COMMUNITY. Originally, the abbreviation of the English phrase “European COMMUNITY” is EC. Later, EC was changed to CE because of COMMUNAUTE EUROPEENNE in French, COMUNITA EUROPEA in Italian, COMUNIDADE EUROPEIA in Portuguese and COMUNIDADE EUROPE in Spanish. What constitutes the core of the EUROPEAN directive is the CONFORMITY WITH EUROPEAN DEMAND. In EC Resolution 85/C136/01 of 7 May 1985 (New Methods of Technical Harmonization and Standards), a specific meaning is given to the “main requirements” that need to be considered for the purpose of the formulation and implementation of the directive, that is, only basic safety requirements with respect to the safety of products that do not endanger humans, animals and goods, rather than general quality requirements. Coordination directives specify only the main requirements; general directive requirements are standard tasks. The products comply with the main requirements of the relevant instructions. The CE mark is a safety mark rather than a quality mark. In the 1940s, Western European countries felt that to ensure their own security, improve their international status and accelerate economic development between the two great powers, they had to join forces, so they pushed forward the process of European integration. The European integration can be divided into five levels: the establishment of free trade area, customs union, unified big market, economic and monetary union and political union.
