Hello Group, I am considering a strategy for shipment of individual circuit packs into the EU. These circuit packs are part of an overall (rack mountable shelf) custom ITE system which will be evaluated to the appropriate requirements/directives (LVD and EMC) and will have a CE marking. I envision two scenarios where individual packs/groups of packs may be shipped into the EU:
1) As part of the placement of the "system" on the EU market for the first time. Packs will be packaged separately from the chassis for shipment to avoid potential shipping damage. 2) As replacement "components" and/or spares. Question: What is the most effective way to label the individual circuit packs (or other "component") packaging and/or shipping documentation to avoid questioning/problems at the point of entry into the EU? The recommendation in the past has been to state on the shipping documents something like "No CE marking required - product is a spare/replacement component of an overall system which itself bears the CE marking." I have also been told to complete a "declaration of incorporation", however, I believe this only applies to components under the machinery directive. Anyone have any proven techniques for shipping component circuit packs (and other components) which do not individually bear the CE marking? Thanks!
