My opinion is only the RoHS Directive should apply. But my last email
from the ODM tonight says the cables have UL Approvals too, on the
cable, on the connector and then flammability on the assembly. So they
think that there must be some safety directive that applies (and was not
tested for). They are checking with their factory (again).

Hi Scott,
Which Directives do you think should apply?

*Subject:* [PSES] CE Marking HDMI Cables
I am going around with an ODM making a HDMI cable for us. Standard
cable just has our brand logo molded in the connector shell. Cable is
to be used with Category 4 (ITE) Equipment and is sold separately.
The question is CE Marked or not CE Marked. I say it must be CE Marked
and they say not required. I have been through the directives and FAQ
more than a few times and it seems black and white to me.
They say they talked to three different compliance labs, at least one
of which is familiar to a lot of us on the west coast, and all say not
required. They say their compliance engineers all went to the required
training and they all say not required.
Am I the only one that thinks these HDMI cables need to be CE Marked?
Or am I missing something? Like maybe not required today but required
to be marked at some future date like 2019 maybe?
Last, assuming I am not on some good psychedelics and CE Marking is
required on or for HDMI cables, can I get away with putting the CE
Mark on the single unit package, like a label on the poly bag it is
sealed in?
I thank everybody that helps answer the question and keeps me from
consuming more of those pink pills.
Happy New Year to all.
Scott
