I did a little bit of digging into CE marking..

CE_confusing

EU discovered it in 2007:

And this is bag is a good one on how it's misused:

Furthermore as a friend put it:
China Export is a myth.
The CE-marking is the producers responsibility to apply to products that is going to be sold inside EU. It's also their responsibility to make sure and proof that the product is qualified for the marking.
The logotype is free to use for everyone who is qualified, including non European companies.

Ohhh! This is so good to know! You are obviously quite right in stating that it is not to be trusted blindly. This is the second thing I learned today. The first is that walls can shrink! In the process of renovating the kitchen after a water damage. Thought I had everything under control until the carpenters said "we have a problem" when there suddenly was not enough space to hang the last cabinet... Next time I will measure, and measure again! A couple of times!
