Richard and everyone The directives do not apply in Switzerland and therefore the CE marking has no legal significance. As far as EMC is concerned, Switzerland has its own laws including the Law of Electricity 1902, The Law of Telecommunications 1991, the Law of Broadcasting 1991, and Ordinance SR 734, Article 4 of which contains EMC provisions. This was the position when I last checked in detail a couple of years ago. I am not aware of any changes, but perhaps one of the list members from Switzerland could update us if anything has changed recently, and on other provisions such as safety.
