Size depends on size of the label. Only the form is to be genuine. I place a small CE mark (in copper on top or bottom layer) on all PCBs I do. It does not comply 100% to the official mark, but to 95%, and at a size of 3mm to 10mm, depending on available board space, nobody will notice if not viewed under a microscope. If anyone is interested, drop me a line. So I am sorry, Jon, but you should inform yourself better before issuing statements, that may read funny, but unfortunately do not contain real information.
