Why any log vape got the CE certification?

The title speak itself, please any idea?

I was thinking the exposed heating element was in cause....although the Sublimator is CE certified and there is an exposed heating element , isn't it?

It one of those things that many users just don't worry about so the manufactures don't worry about it either.

why bother? i don't know beans about CE, but from a 5 minute browse of Wikipedia

CE marking cannot be considered a "safety mark" for consumers.

CE marking is a self-certification scheme. Retailers sometimes refer to products as "CE approved", but the mark does not actually signify approval. Certain categories of products require type-testing by an independent body to ensure conformity with relevant technical standards, but CE marking in itself does not certify that this has been done.

(emphasis mine)

so, what does CE mean to you? what do you expect from a manufacturer that uses this designation? Also, is there a category for vaporizers?

It's only cause I would like to see them on European market, i bet a lot of peoples are afraid about overseas shipping and warranty issues and choose something else even if their first choice was a log!

Some more explanation here. It contradicts itself tho.

'The CE mark is required for all new products which are subject to one or more of the European product safety Directives. It is a visible sign that the manufacturer of the product is declaring conformity with all of the Directives relating to that product.'

Then goes on
'However, the CE mark is not a quality mark, nor a guarantee that the product meets all of the requirements of relevant EU product safety law.'

it is not the case that log vapes are npt safe or so but it is time consuming... i know at least one log manufacturer who asked if someone is interessted to help him get the ce because he is from us and do not want to spent his time dealing with european bureaucracy... and as far as I understnd CE has more to do with safe electronics then health issues... the only problem is that because of non ce certification there are no logs with eu plugs....and you need a bulky converter...

If only someone would just manufacture them ove there. I know there was at least one that was but for whatever reason it did not last. If it were me, I'd just throw a CE mark on the box and ship the shit. Haha. Especially if it really means nothing except lining government pockets.

Edit: If you could get a body made, it would be fairly simple to make your own from existing tech on that side of the ocean.
