Hi Dave, My previous employers all had subsidiaries/factories in Europe, and the transfer of custom built test equipment across the pond was commonplace. The key with the EU legislation is the words "offered for sale". If the equipment is not going to be sold then as long as the shipping papaerwork indicates that it is >from xyz company to the same xyz company (UK) then there is no issue at customs. We certainly never had any issues.
One thing you should be careful of is the fact that the local power utility may require evidence of compliance to the relevant safety standard for the equipment, or may require some kind of inspection before you plug it in. The same is the case here in the frozen north where equiment that does not have a NRTL approval requires inspection, and a dielectric test, before we are allowed to plug it in. Most test equipment falls under 61010 or 60950, and these are common with the EN variant, so if you evaluate your equipment to this, you can state compliance to the LVD. While you may not have satisifed the EMC requirements for CE marking, you would at least satisfy the local electrical authorities, that the quipment is safe.
