Received only a few replies to this question, but thank you to those
that did respond. I am inclined to agree with JW and put just the CE
Mark and Wheelie Bin on the remote and leave off everything else.

I agree; remote control units are seldom extensively marked. Annex F
of IEC/EN 62368-1 is very comprehensive but silent on this subject.
Safety marking is probably not required in Europe because the voltage
is too low for the LVD to apply, But the CE mark (for EMCD and RoHS)
and the recycling bin mark appear to be necessary.

*Subject:* [PSES] Marking on Remote Controls
Hi All,
We have a dilemma. We are making a new high-end remote control similar
to those used with your TV or cable box or DVR, etc. I am asked what
compliance markings are required to be on the outside of the remote
control. The case is textured a bit and pad printing will be
problematic. Thinking the usual ITE kind of stuff I said the model
name, FCC and IC ID, company name, address, CE Mark, wheelie bin, and
so on.
But I just surveyed 8 or 10 remotes in our PV lab from the big names
in TV's and blue-ray players, etc. The markings ran the gamut from
nothing to company name and model number, just a wheelie bin, one had
a CE mark and wheelie bin. None had FCC orIC ID's, none had safety
agency logos, and none had sticky labels with this kind of info.
We are willing to put all of this in a manual or paper insert in
the box if necessary. But what can we legally get away without
printing on the remote?
Looking forward to the interesting replies from this august body. And
many thanks in advance for your comments.
Scott
