Hi Brian Unless it is for use in an explosive atmosphere, then I can’t see that any CE marking legislation will apply.
If it is intended for consumers or likely, under reasonably foreseeable conditions, to be used by consumers even if not intended for them, then the General Product Safety Directive (and its replacement the General Product Safety Regulation) would apply. Plus there’s REACH that applies to almost everything. And yes, 'Sales and Marketing types’ are the same the world over.
