I don’t think I have ever really been clear on what a manufacturer’s responsibilities are with applying a CE mark. We manufacture computer stations inside an enclosure for harsh environments. If a customer needs a CE mark on the system, to what standards are we responsible to test this system? This especially becomes murky when the customer is requesting an incomplete system, without a computer or some other components. Do we just supply a Declaration of Conformity with the standards that we do know the system complies with, then put the CE mark on the system? What if the components that are installed later, have problems with immunity to EMI or radiate outside of the limits in the standard? Are we as the manufacturer, responsible for improper application of the CE mark on our system?
Of course, I know CE is a self-certification, but the manufacturer is responsible for compliance to the appropriate standards, if we mark the system with CE. I appreciate any and all opinions on this subject.
