I think that you will find that the member state has given up the right to "national standards" in these cases, and adopted the EN standard in its place (with the odd national deviation, usually only manual language). By putting anything on the national market, it is automatically considered to be on the whole european market.
If you are GS marking, many national organizations will loose their mark for various catagories as time passes. Don't do testing to obtain a GS mark that will go away in a year or two! Alos, be careful.....I have heard that CE marking and GS marking can not always exist on the same piece of equipment. This is due to the fact that some national standards were not harmonized, (I don't know the details, but I have heard this from two european agencies) Daniel Owen OBServices
