You would hope that would be the case, but reports from manufacturers suggest that some enforcement authorities are being somewhat "enthusiastic" and a major TV manufacturer had a batch of TVs blocked from sale due to "non-conformity in CE mark", which turned out to be a deviation of 0,3mm in printing of 5mm CE mark.

I doubt that conscientious companies need be alarmed. The focus on the CE logo is clearly aimed a the 'China Export' scam. It is certainly true that a lot of low-cost, low grade stuff is coming into the EU via EU countries that do not have any effective market surveillance, and legitimate suppliers' market shares are adversely affected. Once across the EU border, it's very difficult for such products to be traced, unless by detecting the smoke. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
