Interestingly, the XILE Model XL830L multimeter is also "CE Certified".

"CE" stands for "Conformité Européenne" which is French for "European
Conformity". When the "CE" symbol is affixed to a product (as it is to the
XILE Model XL830L multimeter) it is the manufacturer's declaration that
the product conforms to the essential requirements of all European
directives.
These essential requirements would include Safety, public health, Electro-
magnetic Compatibility, and consumer protection, among other things.

But you're probably familiar enough with the XILE Model XL830L multimeter
to have known that it's CE Certified.
