Firstly, CE is not a certification, it just means that the product is in compliance with legislation. It's something the companies need to verify themselves. That leads to the problem child which is China and its lacking morals. Chinese companies will just slap the CE on anything, because the EU say that must and Europeans seems to enjoy seeing it. Sometimes, they will slap on a different CE marking, meaning "China Export". You can tell the difference by tracing the C to a full circle, if that hits the E exactly, its CE as in "conformité européenne", if it doesn't, it's China Export. If you're a fly by night USB charger manufacturer, you just invent a new brand for next month, so you won't get the fines or be banned.
