I understand your point, but I believe that the actual situation is as I have explained it. It simply doesn't make sense that I (my company) can buy a number of products and put them on a shelf, or even install them in a rack, without any EMC issue being raised, but if the manufacturer puts then into a rack for me, he has to spend $$$$ having the rack tested for EMC, and indeed it may not pass, because the acceptable emissions form the items add up to exceed a limit. -- This is my travelling signature, adding no superfluous mass.
