I am trying to identify the requirements for a professional lighting
dimmer/distribution type stand-alone box which incorporates a 3 phase star
(neutral required) with earth type power supply.  The box provides the
following outputs:
-  multiple (10A) dimmer circuits (std mains type outlets)
-  multiple non-dimmed circuits (3 outlets per circuit) power distribution
type arrangement (std mains type outlets) based on power switchboard type
technology
-  DMX (lighting mixing signalling standard) type input with controlled and
non-controlled opto-isolated controlled outputs (DIN type outlet)

The equipment utilises RCDs and circuit breakers to protect circuits etc.

Can anyone provide some help in identifying the requirements for CE
compliance? 
Under the EMC and LVD Directives it is difficult to accurately identify
exactly which standards apply to this type of product but I am presuming at
least the "switchgear and controlgear" type standards apply (of course I may
be wrong but that seems logical).

For safety, someone has suggested the following may apply but I am a bit
dubious about some of them:
-  EN 60065 (I do not believe applicable)
-  EN 60439-1 & -3 (are these correct or are there more appropriate stds)
-  EN 60950 (I do not believe applicable)

For EMC, can anyone please confirm if the following do not apply or if any
others apply?
-  EN 55015 (emissions etc)
-  EN 61000-3-2 (harmonics - I understand no conducted harmonic current
emission limits apply to professional dimmers)
-  EN 61000-3-3 (voltage fluctuations and flicker)
-  EN 61000-3-11 (voltage fluctuations and flicker)
-  EN 61000-6-1 (immunity - supersedes EN 50082-1)

I do not believe any other EU Directive applies. 

Any help at all greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
