    I’m inclined to believe that it’s not just “not respecting the proportions” but rather manufacturers putting a fake logo to create the appearance of safety. From your link:

    “The Commission was also aware of fraudulent misuse of the mark on products that did not comply with the standards, but that this is a separate issue.”

      Why would you be inclined to believe that manufacturers of non-conformant products would be intentionally using a nonstandard version of the mark instead of the correctly-proportioned one which they can use just as easily?

      And why haven’t you edited your comment to remove that image making the false claim that a CE mark with nonstandard proportions is a “China Export Symbol”?

        It was already deleted, you probably just have it cached. 1000005407

        And sorry but I have no idea what you’re trying to say in your paragraph. Regardless of why we’re literally looking at one in the OP. Which is, as if I need to repeat this, a literal suicide device.
