Did you mean "Well, could you please tell me why a lot of Chinese gear that is turning up in this country(NZ), has the CE mark on it?." ?
I've noticed that the CE mark is almost as popular outside the European Union as in it. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that it has no legal meaning outside Europe, which allows manufacturers in South East Asia slap it on everything: There are even 120V only appliances with the CE mark on. (And it's not special use equipment, like the UK 110V construction equipment.)
Another reason for all CE marked gear turning up in NZ is that the same gear is sold in Europe. A lot of computer related items in Europe are sold with UL and CSA logos.
There have been thoughts about introducing a IEC mark that would cover the whole world, but we haven't come quite that far yet. There is CB scheme, in which equipment is tested once only and then the manufacturer pay for each mark he wants to add: UL, CSA, VDE, CCC and so on.
