Some marking directives specify components, otherwise is Pro-forma -> note 'CE' marks on component power supplies, caps, relays, etc. And these components will typically have CB reports and/or test certs to EN standards. All of my customers demand the CE for component power supplies. But that is ok, because I have test certs and CB reports for the TF.
As for the end-use of an assembly - this is where conditions of acceptability should be in the report or cert or TF or napkin.

We build and generate DoC's and apply the CE mark as appropriate for end units and reference the EU directives that apply. I seem to have two choices on the subassemblies Acknowledge that the end product will have all of the directives imposed when this thing is installed and write a DoC that lists them. The rational is that we know and understand the requirements they just can't be verified on a subassembly. So I might indicate this is a nonfunctional assembly but list the EMC, Safety, and RoHS etc directives that I considered Or I might indicate it's a non-functional assembly and list only those directives that it can comply with at this level. Rather than EMC, safety and RoHS, I simply state the RoHS directive for example. Either of which being the basis for my applying the CE mark. The CE marking requirements guides don't seem to address this - or I have just completely misread them.
