That's why you need to look at which standards the CE mark is referring 
to, and that's manufacturer dependent.  There are CE safety standards 
for things like grounding/bonding  (e.g. that green/yellow striped wire, 
and that for some equipment you have to provide a screw attachment for a 
bonding conductor).

There's CE standards for everything..screwtops on bottles, etc.
Kind of like saying "MIL-STD".. the real question is "which MIL-STD"

I doubt, though, that a CE mark meets the intent of the NEC rules, which 
is for "independent" assessment.
