I was recently hit with the thought as to what safety tests a domestic electronic product has to go through before it is sold to consumers more specifically in the EU?
I have been looking through online but there is no clear answer. It mentions CE testing, but are there any other regulations/tests before it is sold to consumers and how do they work?
For example, as I look at a USB Power Supply I see it has the CE mark and other logos as well. I should mention that I was looking into EU laws.

I think the best aproach is indeed to look into EU law (like you already suggested):
https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/selling-in-eu/selling-goods-services/selling-products-eu/index_en.htm
which (regarding safety) links to
https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product/product-rules-specifications/index_en.htm
which links eventually to (only) CE marking.
Regarding those other logos: they're likely certifications for other regions (FCC for USA, CSA for Canada etc) or logos for product identification (e.g.Class II lasers) etc.
