Rich: At my last job, where we had no harmonized standards to apply and a multitude of frequency bands and max power limitations from country to country, we listed every R&TTE signatory country on one end flap of the box, and placed check-marks where the particular variant could be legally operated. The system was not much better than before the R&TTE Directive.

Up until now, that was easy for us since our products could be used in all of the EU and EFTA member states. We just listed all of the ISO 2-letter country codes on the box label. However, now we have some new products that cannot be used in all of those states and we are trying to determine how we should mark the box label. Several suggestions have been made: 1) List only the country codes where use is allowed 2) "X" out or otherwise mark the codes where use is not allowed 3) Have two lists - one where allowed and one where not allowed and place a graphical prohibited sign in front of the latter What are you doing?
