In that case, please refer to: 2004/108/EC: Whereas (20) Article 2, 1 (c) Article 13, 1 second paragraph Guide for the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC: Clauses 1.2, 1.3 and 4.4, especially the head clause itself and 4.4.1. Subsequent representations, mostly from the telecoms industry, have resulted in an interpretation of Article 13, 1 paragraph 2: Such apparatus is not restricted to a single instance, as long as for each instance, at the time of putting into service, the requirements of this paragraph, as explained in clause 4.4.1 of the Guide are met. (At the time of putting into service, the specific location and its EM characteristics are known.) Note that 4.4.1 itself inherently assumes, in using the words '...the batch, the serial number...' that more than one such custom assembly may be produced. But they **must** be custom assemblies of compliant products, **not** catalogue items offered for general sale. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
