The CE marking shows compliance with the technical rules stipulated in the relevant EU reg- ulations. The legislative requirements for the CE marking have been harmonised across the EU. Thus, the same rules must be applied by all Member States for the free movement of prod- ucts in the EU in a safe manner.
Turkey has acceded to the CE marking system with the EC–Turkey Association Council Decision No 1/95. Thus, the same rules regarding the CE marking that apply across the EU are also implemented in Turkey.
It is therefore important to determine the legislative framework for the CE marking in Turkish Law. In Turkey, there is a general discussion about whether the ‘CE’ marking is a guarantee trade mark. This study aims to clarify the legal basis of the CE marking by making a comparative analysis between the EU and Turkey, and to highlight the main differences between guarantee trade marks and the CE marking.
