In my opinion, the cleaner is not an accessory to the ITE since it has no connections to it whatsoever. Therefore, the cleaner must stand as a product in its own right. I would consider it to be business equipment, so it must comply with EN 60950 for safety and EN 50081-1 for emissions and EN 50082-1 for immunity. I strongly recommend that you make the OEM responsible for performing the compliance tests. I also recommend that you require the OEM to provide an agency safety mark such as TUV. That way, the agency will perform survalence on the product to ensure continued safety compliance. If you are the importer you will be responsible for the Declaration of Conformity.
