It depends on local interpretations of the CE rules. UK as usual in all things emanating from the EU does it all to the letter, so yes, it is illegal here (may be a bit more relaxed up your way Poul, as common sense and EU don't seem to mix down here!).
One can get exceptions in a few cases, especially if military customers are involved. But, the general rule is that if it hasn't got a CE mark in the UK you can't sell it.

That is not true. It is illegal to *sell* things without CE marks to the unwashed public, but you are allowed to import for personal use. In addition there are a vast array of exemptions, including professional test & measurement equipment. Furthermore, anything constructed before the CE mark requirement came into force in their local country are OK. >I see there have been many projects like the Jackson Labs unit that >have been imported into Europe. This is illegal. No, it is not, stop spreading FUD.
