I think it would depend on your definition of "end user". If an end-user is
an integrator then yes, But if your definition is someone who buys a
computer to use then they probably would not ever install a mother board
under any condition (at least my wife wouldn't) : )
Also spare parts, I believe, do not fall under this category.

Jim,
Yes, you are correct. Subassemblies intended for incorporation into an
apparatus by the end user do fall under the scope of the EMC Directive.
Best Regards,

EMC Directive Applicability to
Mother Boards
Does a PC motherboard by itself fall under the scope of the EMC Directive?
Article 2, paragraph 2(a) states that for the purposes of the Directive,
the following is deemed an apparatus: "components" or "sub-assemblies"
intended for incorporation into an apparatus by the end user, which are
liable to generate electromagnetic disturbance, or the performance of which
is liabile to be affected by such disturbance.
Therefore, I think a PC motherboard (or any other commercially available PC
board) falls under the Directive. Am I correct?
