So I might indicate this is a nonfunctional assembly but list the EMC,
Safety, and RoHS etc directives that I considered
Yes. What has been used is a statement like:
'This sub-assembly is not a finished functional product but conforms to
the RoHS Directive and is suitable for use in a finished product
conforming to the Low Voltage and EMC Directives'
with the numerical references of the Directives, of course.
The problem with such bespoke statements is that acceptance for one
product doesn't ensure that some other enforcer won't take exception to
it.
Or I might indicate it?s a non-functional assembly
Yes, definitely do that.
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.
No; you are withholding the pertinent information that you took the
other Directives into account.
Either of which being the basis for my applying the CE mark.
I don't think you should apply the CE mark for safety or EMC on a
non-functional sub-assembly. But the RoHS Directive is different.
The CE marking requirements guides don?t seem to address this ? or I
have just completely misread them.
There are lots of things that the CE Directive doesn't say.
