The UK distributor has asked that all packages have the CE Marking on
the box. I'm reluctant to sign-up to this procedure in view of the
fact that the CE Marking should not be applied to most sub-assemblies.
I've reviewed the 2014 Blue Guide, Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, and
768/2008/E seeking guidance on this scenario but find nothing. Is
anybody within the group aware of some form of legal guidance that
applies?
At one time it was held that applying the CE mark to goods not requiring
it was an offence, but I have not seen that cited recently, and it may
be that it was a bit of 'gold plating' - something added in a particular
Member State's implementation of the Directive -, or a misunderstanding.
You could consider putting on the package, 'These goods do not require
the CE mark' (not using the stylized 'CE').
