[PSES] HAR factories for marked cable
Good afternoon. A cable supplier has mentioned that cables cannot bear the HAR marking if they are not manufactured within an EU country. This seems to be buried in HAR agreement documents that are out of my reach. Can anyone confirm this? Regards, Peter L.

Have never heard this. Note this link: http://www.interpower.com/ic/news/infopower/harmonized-cable/ Most of my EU-bound stuff that include input power cord assembly is not made in EU, and have had no import problems. yet. If this is true, I would also really appreciate an advisory on the reference.
