Melanie, You are actually in the UK right? I say that because those of us across the pond (USA) have been given a much more restrictive warning about CE marks. I sold a product to Darsbury University and needed the CE mark. I "self" certified as is allowed and saved the $8000 EMC and Low Voltage directive testing, but I really felt like I was pushing my luck. Everything I read about CE indicated that I needed to check off ALL directives that the product fell under and then show that the product met ALL directives before affixing the mark. (sidebar- can you believe there are companies selling the gif image for CE? As if we can't find the image elsewhere and photoshop it.)

I think the fear is not that some postal inspector will catch you, but rather the fact that one of your EU competitors might rat on you to the authorities in order to get your product banned.

I would love to have you dissuade my fears, because I just got a quote from a testing company for a new product. $12500 to certify it for EMC and Low voltage directives.
