John, You are correct. Any product when placed into use is considered to have been 'placed on the market', even if it is not sold. CE Marking requirements apply. Also, be aware of the 'Safety of workers at work' directive, the analog to the US OSHA regulations. This directive requires that CE marked products are used in the workplace.
