What changes is if the four identical pieces are sold as a system and now - as a system - need to comply with the EU standards.
The EU - for quite a while - has had the opinion that CE+CE does NOT = CE (necessarily). This is a very perplexing question!

I'm sorry to persist, but this is a very important point. I suppose you agree that I can buy, say, four identical pieces of equipment, with CE mark, DoC and EMC assessment, all in order, put them on a table (even stacked one above another) and operate them without fear of violating anything. If you do agree, what changes when, instead of putting them on a table, I put them into a rack? -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
