It's called a CE mark or equivalent, there is already a system, penalties and tests.

It's been quite a while since i did CE, UL and CSA testing and conformities, but CE even back then was pretty worthless. It's just a self declaration. Only when the proverbial fan has been tainted with figurative feces, they will maybe act upon it.
And back then there was also this weird "China Export" logo that resembled the CE logo specifications for about 95%. The average consumer could not know the difference.
It also gives me a chuckle when i see this weird 'QC passed' stickers on components. Completely worthless.
