My understanding is the same as yours - you must meet the protection
requirements.
Regarding safety, I believe that to show due diligence concerning Health and
Safety regulations you would in any case have to ensure the equipment was safe
to use; the easiest way is to ensure compliance with a suitable standard like
60950 or 61010-1, and to have records showing how it complied.
Regarding EMC, the protection requirements must be met bearing in mind the
potential for problems inside and outside your facility. Thus the environment in
which it is used is relevant, as well as for example the attenuation of your
factory walls (in case of emissions).
In practice it is the safety of your employees which is the critical issue
unless you build rf transmitters in your boxes!

Subject: Equipment designed and manufactured for use in-house
Dear All,
A question from UK:
Does anyone have a strategy for handling the Low Voltage and EMC Directive
requirements relating to equipment made for use in-house?
By this, I mean test boxes, power supplies, break-out boxes, etc.
These products are not meant to be offered for sale (ie not 'placed on the
market'), but have been 'taken into service' by being switched on and used.
I think, therefore, that the protection requirements of the Directives must
be met, but CE marking is not necessary.
In terms of Safety, I think EN 60950 and EN 61010-1 are relevant.
Does anyone have a view on this?
Cheers,
Carlos Perkins
