Thanks John.

So, the 'charged battery' issue is to allow market surveillance and customs to 
power it on?

Don't forget that the Alert Symbol was intended to alert the user to a 
restriction and I don't recall much information to the public about that.   :-)
(I guess that's why it's being removed through the RE D).

When discussing electronic CE Marking, one of the main arguments against 
electronic labelling by ADCO was that they wanted to strengthen the 'brand' of 
the CE Mark in the public eye; and removing it from the product was going in 
the wrong direction.   So, I'm not sure if there are mixed messages about 
whether it is just for customs and MSAs, or if it's for the user also?

Not disagreeing, just thinking.


Michael.

The CE mark is addressed to customs and market surveillance authorities, and it 
is they who need the stick-on label. The CE mark is not addressed to users. If 
it were, we should see Press ads telling the general public to look for the 
mark before buying products.
