(DHRM) (“Dehaier” or the “Company”), an emerging leader in the development, assembly, marketing and sale of medical devices and homecare medical products, today announced that it has received Conformite Europeenne (CE) certification for its sleep diagnostic devices and air compressors.

Mr. Ping Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dehaier Medical stated, “We are thrilled to obtain the CE marking, which validates the high quality and manufacturing standards of Dehaier’s innovative medical products. This lays a strong foundation for us to offer our sleep diagnostic devices and air compressors in the EU markets. Moreover, we intend to leverage this approval to further expand our distribution network in the European Union as well as other markets that rely on the CE mark process.”
“We already ship our air compressor products to the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Ukraine, and the Philippines. Following the CE approval, we will continue to seek more distribution and OEM opportunities worldwide,” said Ms. Rayna Dong, Director of Dehaier’s International Marketing. “The CE marking strengthens our ability to cooperate with potential distributors from EU countries.
