If the product is not placed on the market, displayed at a trade show or demonstrated without selling it, the CE mark is not required. However, two criteria remain: 1. it shall be safe and 2. marked that it (currently) does not comply with the directives
I would include statements to this effect into the shipping papers. Matthias R. Heinze Manager, Industrial Machinery Division TUV Rheinland -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Booth Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 1998 8:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: CE marking Dear Treggers, Our Fujitsu colleagues in Australia have a non CE compliant product which is being aimed at the Belgian market. The product is currently undergoing Safety and EMC testing in accordance with European Directives in order that it can be CE marked and supplied to the European market. Meanwhile field trials and demonstrations of the equipment are planned in Belgium using non CE marked equipment. We have been informed that while the demonstration equipment is in Belgium Fujitsu would have to retain ownership to ensure that supply of the equipment has not taken place. What we are not sure about is whether Customs will allow non CE marked equipment into Europe. Can anyone clarify this please?
