Jeff, It is true that a European safety agency approval for critical components may not be required for "CE", but please be aware that if you purchase such a component you should check the declaration and be sure the component was tested according to the correct standard with all amendments. You may also want to request a copy of the test report for your file.
By purchasing European safety agency approved components you can be sure the component was tested according to the correct standard, and can back it up with the component license. Also, if a customer happens to require a European safety "mark" on your product, they will either ask for the component licenses or have to spend quite a bit of time reviewing the declarations and reports. Hope this helps in your decision. Regards, Edward Eszlari TUV Rheinland of N.A., Inc. Boston office 508-460-0792 --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
