The estimated sign or estimated symbol, ℮, (officially, the ℮-mark or the final EC verification mark in EU law,) can be found on most prepackaged products in the European Union (EU). Its use indicates that the prepackage fulfils EU Directive 76/211/EEC, which specifies the maximum permitted tolerances in package content.

The shape and dimensions of the e-mark are defined in EU Directive 2009/34/EC. The e-mark is also used on prepackages in the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. It must be placed in the same field of vision as the nominal weight or volume quantity, for example, "1 mg ℮" or "1 L ℮".
