I still remain to be convinced about the CE system being effective. Just look at the mess of contradictory information when it was introduced. It's not for nothing that CE was jokingly referred to as "Confusion Everywhere."

Spain was too chaotic to enforce it at all, and just ignored the whole thing, allowing importers to slap CE labels on their equipment whether it had been tested or not.

Germany refused to accept the directive and still insisted that machinery received their own VDE approvals.

In Britain we had government officials contradicting each other as to the true nature of the scheme, while small manufacturers were being fordced to close due to the exorbitant costs involved with sending devices off for approval.

Elect,
