John,
I disagree. REACH is all about (well at least partly about) imported articles,
substances and preparations (all "products"). It is as much a market access
regulation as MD or EMCD.
As you know RoHS is being proposed to be a CE mark directive in its upcoming
revision.
There are many other directives that also relate to potential products but
don't require CE marking, such as TPED (requires PI marking), Aerosols
Directive (requires upside-down epsilon marking), Prepackaged Products
Directive (requires "e" marking).
My impression is that CE markings tend to be required where consumer sales are
prominently envisioned, and no marking, or other markings are required where
B2B transactions are more prominent.

The CE mark is to notify Customs and market surveillance officials that
the product can cross national borders and be marketed in the EU. This
is not relevant to RoHS, packaging, REACH, etc.
