CE marking of a component is illegal however the definition of component is different between the UK & France. The UK definition of a component includes a card with no intrinsic function supplied only to other manufacturers (not the public) however I understand that French Customs are refusing to allow into the country such cards which are not CE marked. Because it is illegal to CE mark the cards in the UK I had visions of sticking the labels on during the Channel Tunnel trip to France after it passed the half way point however the UK enforcement authority has stated they will not prosecute CE marking of components if they are being marked for export to France.
