The "Law of Economics" is loud and clear; it mandates electical product
safety compliance for the buyer's offerings.
I think the question is 'Which is the best way to frame the 'law' - the
US 'third party way', which used to apply in Europe as well, but a bit
differently because it was a real law, and the current European way,
'Manufacturer, you bear total responsibility for your products' safety
(and EMC etc.) conformity and you can't delegate that to a test house or
certification body.'?

Instead of saying that the government is doing too little, too late or too
much, too early, say they've got is exactly right, thus throwing them into
total confusion.
