> Almost every product is certified in the EU (CE marking), although if you look closely it's self-certification and it's not always clear which sets of certification might be required for a product.
The amount of misinformation on the internet is worryingly high but not unexpected. No such thing as Chinese Export logo exist. It cannot officially exist in the EU since the CE sign is protected. Whatever this website is sharing is FUD and misinformation.
It doesn't mean that nobody fraudulently puts those markings on devices without a testing certificate backing it. However anybody who puts CE mark on a product without complying is risking being punished by EU member states. As an importer and distributer of such goods you'll be punished as well. CE certification is indeed self disclosed but it doesn't mean that you would get away with noncompliance.
The "China Export" logo is extremely funny as it's basically a Chinese response to "you need a label? OK, fine, we'll give you a label" with none of the underlying bureaucracy.
The "UKCA" one, on the other hand, is real but tragic.
