How to tell if a CE or UL Listing is fake

Sad but true. CE which normally stands for “Conformité Européenne” or “European Conformity” (European equivalent of UL Listing for the US) shows up on electronics from China but in fact stand for "China Export." So so so sad. They use the same logo but claim it stands for something other than what it is known to be defined as.

This tells me that the logo that came with my charger isn't real. Look closely and you'll see that the C is not a complete half circle. It's slightly ovular.


Same with the one that's being sent to me that's supposedly "their best one."
