R&TTE Article 3.1(a) states "the protection of the health and the safety of the user and any other person, including the objectives with respect to safety requirements contained in Directive 73/23/EEC, but with no voltage limit applying;"
EN60950 would be an appropriate Harmonised Standard for you to "apply". I don't suppose there will be a lot of "testing", but you do have issues such as the safe charging and discharging of the battery to consider. If you don't fully "apply" 60950 in your Technical File, you need a NB opinion of your assesssment.

The WiFi client product is a battery operated 802.11 b/g device with < 0.1W output. The battery in the WiFi client device is recharged by a class 2 EPS that has both UL/CAS and GS mark. Thanks W.
