RE: Re: CE certification

["Downes, David" <David.Downes@xxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly all electrical equipment which is sold has to
guarantee meeting the standards for electromagnetic compatibility. 
This
guarantee is either by testing or via documentation and someone taking
legal
responsibility.  This is not an area I'm familiar with, and wonder
what the
situation is with regards to small time PC assemblers.  Are all
the
components supposed to be CE certified and therefore the product as a
whole
is?

you still need to have your product tested but as you don't have 
mains going into it the testing is less complex and therefore cheaper.
