Estimated sign
Mark (℮) to affirm approximate contents / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The estimated sign, ℮, also referred to as the e-mark or estimated quantity (French: quantité estimée) 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.[1] The e-mark is also used on prepackages in the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa.
