Members baja85 Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 I always thought it meant "Crafted in Europe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anteater Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 CE testing relates primarily to electrical safety and electromagnetic interference. A CE mark is pretty much meaningless for a guitar as it couldn't really fail. However, it is an electrical device and must have a CE sticker if it's to be sold in Europe. It make more sense for amps and other mains powered gear as it indicates a reasonable level of insulation from harmful voltages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FalseRevRG Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 it's basically the euro equivalent to "UL Listed" in the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted May 2, 2005 Members Share Posted May 2, 2005 Its much harder to get somthing UL listed then CE listed though so many items are not UL listed but are CE listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
