CE simply means Common Era or Christian Era - a reference to the calendar first adopted by the Christians, and now by the world as a whole. In that calendar, years were noted as AD (Anno Domini or 'the year of our Lord'). As a universal, world calendar, this is understandably controversial, as Jesus is not recognised as the Lord of all religions, or of atheists. Hence, the optional designation of CE in place of AD.

Common Era (also known as Christian Era and Current Era; abbreviated CE) is a designation for the period of time beginning with year 1 of the proleptic Gregorian calendar. An earlier date is then designated BCE, described as "Before the Common," "Christian," or "Current Era." The numbering of years is identical to the numbering in the Anno Domini system, neither system using a year zero.

The CE mark on electronics products means that it conforms to European Union directives concerning the manufacture of equipment. The mark is recognition that the product meets all of the European legislation. CE is an abbreviation of the words "Conformité Européenne".
