Russell, The R&TTE CE-marking includes a character (!) if geographical or TELCO-interface restrictions. LVD/EMC CE-marking is simply 'CE', no extra information.
The compulsory R&TTE marking is good; no one wants customers to break seals on retail packages to find whether R&TTE products have restricted application. Optional LVD/EMC marking CE-marking of retail packaging is a good idea. CE-marking on cartons is not so important if product is sold in bulk packs to professional installers.

Or am I wrong? Only curious, Russell. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
