Anyone can stick a CE sticker onto their products. It's a self certification mark, and I've never heard of a company ever getting in trouble over this stuff. All it says is "I promise to follow the CE rules" but there are no mandatory audits or anything, unless a company gets found out to be violating the spec. I don't think the CE mark protects consumers the way it could decades ago, with international imports taking a few seconds and free postage to boot.
