Leaving aside the LVD "in/out" issues, since a small USB charger is
almost inherently not "EMC benign", then surely it must be subject to
the EMCD - unless you firmly play the "installations" card - ?
I agree up to a point. As you say, once you invoke 'fixed installation'
you raise the subject of EMC assessing the whole house.
If it IS subject to the EMCD, then the "essential requirements" of that
apply - regardless of whether there are directly-applicable harmonised
Standards - , CE marking is required and the overall CE marking
requirements apply, and that would then throw the RoHS II requirements
into play as well.
The CE mark can't be applied because it's prohibited on mains plugs and
sockets. It's an unresolvable paradox, due to the absence of relevant
standards.
So, I think the "installations" issue could probably be the critical
one.
See above; it just raises further unresolvable issues.
What we should be pressing for is an applicable standard, not trying to
hammer existing standards into applicability.
