>From a number of responses I've had already I need to clarify that the product will be fully compliant with the applicable EU Directives and EN's needed for a valid CE Mark.
The only question is whether there's anything wrong with the use of the CE Mark on a product that is not for sale in the EU and is designed for a non-EU line voltage (220Vac, 60Hz). Note that if the product were erroneously connected to 230Vac, 50Hz, it would refuse to operate. Thanks, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.
