The safety requirements for CE certification is expected to become more stringent from late 2021. The main purpose of this is to increase safety levels and help further reduce the number of accidents in the future.

CE stands for Conformit\u00e9 Europ\u00e9enne<\/em>, or “in accordance with European directives”. CE marking is legally required for products such as swing and sliding gates that are sold on the European market. By affixing a CE mark to our product, we are stating that we comply with all of the essential European safety, health and environmental protection requirements that are set for our product. When you as a customer purchase a product with a CE mark, you can therefore be assured that you are buying a safe product.<\/p>\n

Burden of proof for damage claims<\/strong><\/p>\n
