Ken & Dave, If you recall, back when CE marking first became mandatory for EMC and then for the LVD, there was a lot of confusion as to what products should be marked. there were a wide range of inappropriately marked products on the market. I even saw a simple terminal block CE marked for EMC (imagine, a terminal block on an OATS). I think that time, many companies thought of CE as a marketing advantage and attempted to mark everything possible.
Be that as it may, it is still a component if it does not have intrinsic function. Another way of saying this, is it must always be incorporated into larger equipment to be put into service.

I have a USB solid state hard drive that has a CE mark. It is memory with a standard interface. It is totally useless by itself, it derives power from its host. The rationale must lie somewhere else. > From: "POWELL, DOUG" <doug.pow...@aei.com> > Reply-To: "POWELL, DOUG" <doug.pow...@aei.com> > Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 12:35:17 -0700 > To: "'drcuthb...@micron.com'" <drcuthb...@micron.com>, > emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org > Subject: RE: opinions, please > > > Dave, > > I would call this a component. > > The key here is to decide if it has intrinsic function (i.e. does it have a > useful propose when used alone?).
