The CE marking indicates that a product complies with one or more pieces of EU Single Market legislation. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills works with businesses, including small businesses, to support them in meeting the requirements of the legislation, for example by producing guidance, working with trade associations to raise awareness, and engaging directly with businesses to solve specific issues. In addition, I will continue to press the European Commission to identify opportunities to reduce the burden of complying with Single Market legislation, particularly for SMEs, wherever possible.
