Hello Group,

I just had a question posed to me that made me think a little bit. So I will
pose it to all of you.  First some preamble. A device is going to be made
for the European market. It is in fact a "dummy" device in that it looks
like the real thing but it is not. The only electronics inside is a bridge
rectifier and a RC circuit to blink a LED. The device can be powered by
either an AC or DC source up to 30 V. The power source is not supplied. For
this industry (security) there is a product family standard for EMC. The
device is not a mock up for store display purposes but is in fact used in
the industry to give the impression that there are more of these devices
around than there really are.

So the moment has arrived, do you CE mark the device? If you say yes, what
directive did you apply? If you say no, what is your reasoning?


Best Regards,
