Paul,
The objective of the CE mark is to enable the free movement of goods throughout Europe and for them to be placed on the market. The UPEA is not preventing this from being done. The UPEA is exercising its right as a user/consumer to contractually insist that a requirement that is possibly extra to the various pieces of EC legislation be met. If the requirement is detrimental to the various EC directives i.e. it makes a particular requirement easier to meet then you maybe have a reason to follow this up. However, provided this is not being used as a reason to prevent the equipment being placed on the market then you have no legal complaint. There are various organisations that already do this as the EC Directives, particularly EMC, do not cover the environment in which the equipment is to be used.
