   CE just means "Chinese Export" judging by the quality of some of those   
   things. Much better than they were 20 years ago, though. They've come on   
   in leaps and bounds. HOWEVER, when it comes to measuring anything mains-   
   related I would never use one. I've got a Megger for such occasions. The   
   equivalent in the US is Fluke. These two brands have *proper* protection   
   from high voltages at high energies. The cheap Chinese meters simply   
   aren't up to that sort of job.
