That is not true.

It is illegal to *sell* things without CE marks to the unwashed
public, but you are allowed to import for personal use.

In addition there are a vast array of exemptions, including
professional test & measurement equipment.

Furthermore, anything constructed before the CE mark requirement came
into force in their local country are OK.

No, it is not, stop spreading FUD.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
