Hello Brian, in lack of any more specific EU Directive, a product will be in the scope of the General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC (Consolidated TEXT: 32001L0095 - EN - 01.01.2010 (europa.eu)<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:02001L0095-20100101#tocId3>) that covers any product intended for consumers. As far as I know, the GPSD does neither require a CE Declaration of Conformity, nor CE marking on the product. An overview of EU Directives and applicable harmonized standards may be found at Harmonised Standards (europa.eu)<https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/european-standards/harmonised-standards_en>.
Is the product intended to be permanently connected to a potable water supply? If yes, national regulations of EU member countries may apply. Kind regards, Bernd Von: Brian Kunde <bkundew...@gmail.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 19.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender. I have a non-electrical benchtop product that holds a piece of sandpaper while slowly running water over the sandpaper. The only connection to this product is a water supply at normal water supply pressure. The User holds the item they want to sand in their hand and rubs it back and forth on the sandpaper. It is as simple as that. Is there an EU Directive that covers this type of product and if so, is the Directive part of the CE Scheme? I don't think there is but I am not familiar with all of the EU Directives. So why am I asking? Believe it or not, some Sales and Marketing types like to see the CE Marking on products. They feel it makes things sell better and it avoids uneducated customers from asking why there is no CE marking on the product. Thanks for any advice, ideas, information, or suggestions.
