Koh Many Directives also include the statement, "The minimum size requirement may be waived for small scale equipment". This really means that if the equipment is large enough to receive a 5mm mark, then that is what it should be, but if the equipment is very small, then the size of the mark may be reduced as long as it remains legible. I am not aware of an prescriptive smaller size, but 3mm is probably about right for legibility. This waiver is not an excuse to minimise the dimensions of marking for purely aesthetic reasons.

But however, I've seen lots of products bearing CE logo which is definitely lesser than 5mm height. Such as some electronic products, toy product and on my desk a stationary highlighter, all which have CE mark of about 3mm height. Isn't this deem not meeting to CE mark logo specs/requirement? Is there any cases of penalty that anyone can provide so that I could use it to show to our management guys. Thanks.
