Scott Generally, legislation applicable to products frequently require CE marking, whereas legislation that is applicable to companies does not. Packaging and REACH legislation affects organizations, but does not directly affect product. RoHS is the exception, but that is probably why the current re-draft proposal now includes CE marking for RoHS, thus removing this anomaly. Another exception is WEEE, where the product requires marking (with the crossed-out wheelie bin), but the obligation is on the manufacturer, there being no specific requirements on the product other than having to be identified as being within the scope of the WEEE Directive. I hope this helps. Best regards

Is there any reason behind to have such difference?
