Hi Mike,
Electronic labelling has always been unpopular with some of the European market surveillance groups and therefore considered forbidden. To the point that the industry was given the impression that electronic CE Marking would never happen in Europe. It seems that the European Commission did not agree fully with the interpretation because the new Radio Equipment Directive does include text which should open the door for electronic labelling of certain devices, such as devices with an integral screen, in the future. I hope we should get more information from the European Commission on this, as the guidance comes in for the Radio Equipment Directive. There is a suggestion that devices with an integral screen which use an electronic CE Mark but are not supplied with charged batteries may require a ‘peel off’ temporary label with a CE Mark on it, so that the user can see the CE Mark before they charge it. People have said to me: “Why would that be needed for a phone etc., because it cannot actually transmit until it is charged anyway, by which time the user can see the CE Mark!” ….but, it’s important to remember that the CE Mark includes safety and EMC, so the user should not be plugging a device into a mains charger if they have not yet seen the CE Mark.

I understand that the FCC has made some small movements in acceptance of e-labeling and Japan has some situation where e-labeling is ok, but solicit information on other markets' approaches.
