Amund The general guidance on this is in section 2.3 of the Blue Guide which states:
Placing on the market is considered not to take place where a product is: * transferred for testing or validating pre-production units considered still in the stage of manufacture * displayed or operated under controlled conditions (53) at trade fairs, exhibitions or demonstrations Note 53: The prototype must be safe and under complete control and supervision. Controlled conditions would mean expert operators, restrictions to public contact with the product, avoiding inappropriate interaction with other neighbouring products etc This would cover EMC/LVD type product, but additional requirements would apply to equipment falling under some other Directives such as RED (temporary radio spectrum license would be required) or Machinery Best regards Charlie Charlie Blackham Sulis Consultants Limited Tel: +44 (0)7946 624317 Web: https://sulisconsultants.com/ Registered in England and Wales, number 05466247 From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: 28 January 2026 12:50 To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Not CE symbol on prototypes Approx. 10 pcs of a product prototype version are put into test-service under the supervision of the manufacturer and with no commercial benefits. No other parties are involved in the test process. Is it possible to avoid CE marking on the products for this time-limited period? Or this this scenario "placed on the marked" anyway ....
