The CE mark, must be affixed to a product if it falls under the scope of the 'New Approach' Directives, of which, there are approximately 20.

Without the CE marking, and thus without complying with the provisions of the Directives, the product may not be placed in the market, or, put into service in the fifteen member states of the European Union plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

If the product meets the provisions of the applicable European Directives, and the CE mark is affixed to a product, these countries may not prohibit, restrict, or, impede the placing in the market, or, putting into service of the product. Thus, CE marking can be regarded as the products trade passport for Europe and the letters, "CE", indicate that the manufacturer has undertaken all assessment procedures required for the product. The CE mark is not a quality mark and does not indicate conformity to a standard; rather, it indicates conformity to the legal requirements of the EU Directives.

The APC-Industrial PC has undergone extensive testing, both third party and in-house to ensure the integrity of the CE marking.
