Excuse the 'top posting' ... to make sense of the discussion.
Yes, the long wait for the 'production' models seems to be close to an
end for the RPi.
Farnell and RS are collaborating to move the CE compliance requirement
forward.
Yep , they have photos of them been in the UK warehouse which is great
leap forward.
I don't know how much more if any of the EMC testing they need to complete.
Any way it sort of gives me my unit in maybe 2 weeks ish ????????
Re casing, I don't see a standard plastic case doing much with regards to EMC.
Obviously with the conductive paint sprayed on the inside this is a
different question.
My Panda board got it's FCC badge so I don't see the lack of case to be
a fundamental
problem. Also sub assemblies get sold like this all the time, lets see!!!

The first 10,000 have arrived in the UK but are now being held up as
RS and Farnell are demanding a formal CE test, rather than the usual
self certification.
This might be a problem, as they are uncased and are bound to produce EMI.
In the USA the FCC allow manufacturers to bypass this by labelling:
"This product may cause interference".
I wonder how mobile phones get around this - we have all heard the
interference they cause!
The QL black box was absolutely awful, both for interference, and
also susceptibility to interference. That directly spawned my
"Computer Cleaner".

According to the RS web site, the requirement for a CE is owing to the
board not now being classified as a 'prototype'. Owing to the large
number in production.
