1.   I've been here, and the interpretation that suited best was that 
'taken into service' must meet the protection requirements, but so 
long as it stays at the initial users site, there is no purpose 
achieved by the CE mark.  As soon as it moves to another user or to 
another state inside the EEA, the paperwork must be done and the CE 
mark applied.  This because it is now 'supplied'.

The requirement for proof that the equipment meets the protection 
requirements is always there, it can be retrospective in the UK, but 
the CE marks reason d'etre is to provide free movement across 
borders, and in this case it's not going anywhere.

2.   Anybody dealing with Euro EMC and LVD is losing their marbles, 
that's why we do the job, we've already lost them.
