The "CE" mark is usually affixed to the product, but if the position is too small, it can be displayed on the packaging and instructions
The CE mark is a specific mark that can be enlarged and reduced in a certain proportion. The CE marking is a specific marking that can be enlarged and reduced to a certain scale. It can also be seen as two intersecting circles, the two letters are equal in height, the middle stroke of the letter "E" should be slightly shorter than the upper and lower strokes.The height of the CE marking should not be less than 5mm, as shown in the figure, it can be enlarged and reduced by a certain proportion, it can also be seen as two intersecting circles, the two letters are equal in height, the letter "E" in the middle stroke should be slightly shorter than the upper and lower strokes.
