CE marking applies only to product groups covered by a European harmonised standard or directive. Whether CE marking is required for a shower drain depends on the specific product and its intended application. Tell us your destination market and we will confirm which documentation applies to your order.
How CE marking works
CE marking is a declaration by the manufacturer that a product meets the applicable European requirements. It is not a general quality mark and does not apply to every product category. A product is either within scope of a European directive/regulation or it is not.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the product within scope of a harmonised standard? | Determines whether CE marking can be applied at all |
| Will the product be fixed into a building permanently? | May bring it within construction products regulation scope |
| What does the importer’s authority require? | Often the deciding factor in practice |

Practical guidance
- Requirements differ between the EU, UK, North America, Middle East and Australia — do not assume equivalence.
- Project specifications sometimes reference certification that is not legally required for the product category. Confirm with the specifier what they actually need.
- Documentation should be requested at the quotation stage so it can be prepared with the order.
