Are in-vehicle accessories (such as tracking devices, PDAs, navigation systems that are not otherwise connected/integrated to the operation of the vehicle) powered from 12V cigarette sockets and/or their power supplies required to be e-marked? 2004/104/EC would suggest not as it states “(3) In the light of the experience gained since the amendment to Directive 72/245/EEC, it is no longer necessary for after-market equipment unrelated to safety functions to be regulated by a Directive specifically concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in the automobile sector. For such equipment it is sufficient to obtain a Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the procedures laid down in Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility [3] and in Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity [4].” Is that correct, or is there some other overarching requirement elsewhere?
