My sister got me circuit board socks for Christmas and I’m relieved to discover that they are, in fact, CE marked.

@joeycastillo CE = Canadian Export?

@joeycastillo I think that those socks might not be properly certified.

@joeycastillo I think that might be the cheeky China Export mark, not the Euro one 😉 (it's all about the kerning)

@joeycastillo sadly, this is the China Export logo. Easy mistake. Some say it may actually be on purpose. https://www.kimuagroup.com/news/differences-between-ce-and-china-export-markings/

@LazaroFilm oh my goodness, that absolutely has to be on purpose, right?!

@joeycastillo @LazaroFilm My understanding is that this is an urban legend, based on actual fraudulent use of the CE mark (not limited to Chinese exports) and non-compliant designs of the mark (e.g. incorrect placement, as here). At least the EC asserted as such in '08:
