Note that the U.S. OSHA has (figuratively) declared war on the self-declaration process, and has specifically published stuff saying that the 'CE' does not indicate the any specific safety compliance.

Well, it doesn't; it's not intended to. Nor did any of the former national safety marks, such as SEMKO. The Declaration of Conformity indicates the specific safety compliance.

The CE mark is an indication to customs officers and market surveillance officers that a DoC exists and the product should be admitted to the EU, cross national borders within it and can be offered for sale.
