I'm about 80% certain. It was being used around automotive ignition systems. I

Hello Doug,
 
How confident are you that the grease in question is a dielectric grease? Your 
description sounds a lot like some of the high temperature automotive and 
industrial greases. There are a few brands of synthetic grease that have a 
green color. They aren’t tested for their electrical properties, but they are 
designed for high temperature use.

All,
 
I am trying to locate a particular high voltage insulating grease or gel.   I 
am unable to identify the manufacturer and ty‎pe.   The only description I can 
give at this point is the appearance which is green in color with an iridescent 
sheen. It looks much like automotive antifreeze fluid only thick like grease.
 
Any help is much appreciated.

Personally, I would:

- Decide what is the most major part of the product which has a visible
external surface which be carrying all the other product identification
marking, and then put the  CE marking on that part;
- Make sure that the product documentation going to the customers clearly
states that the product will only be compliant with all relevant "CE
Directives" and the DoC when assembled and installed according to the
detailed instructions you provide.
- Before making the final decisions, take a look at the recently updated
Commission "Blue Guide" - and particularly Chp 2 Section 2.1 "Product
Coverage" and the para beginning "A combination of products..." on Page  
18

and Chp 4 Section 4.2.2.3 "Identification element" on Page 49.

Subject: Re: [PSES] CE Marking on Packaging of Assembly Components

It depends on which directives apply to the product/components.  The
Machinery Direct is clear that partly complete machinery is not to carry  
a

CE mark to avoid confusion when it's integrated with the complete system.
Partly completed machinery should be accompanied by a DoI.However if
your items are not machinery but instead fall under the LVD for example  
and
you are going to provide a separate DoC for those items then it would  
make
sense that they be marked.   If you are not providing a separate DoC/DoI  
for
these items because they have not been assessed as individual products  
then

perhaps provide documentation/statement that they are part of the larger
system to be integrated and provide a copy of the DoC of the complete  
system
but do not CE mark the items/shipping container itself.  I wouldn't put  
a CE
mark on a component that falls under MD or LVD without having a DoC/DoI  
and

technical file to back it up.
