"CE" mark self certification

[ponthirmike]

To GaryAviation,

So one of over one hundred customers is challenging your certification? Does this halt your sales or can you simply tell this one customer to take a hike? Losing <1% of your customers doesn't seem too bad, or is this process of filing a complaint more formal?

A more generic question perhaps someone can answer: I have interpreted the Low Voltage Directive in such a way that it is my understanding that a device powered by an external 24VDC Wall Wart power supply would NOT fall under the directive. The device does not accept or provide any voltages higher than 24VDC. The Wall Wart is CE certified and of course would plug into the mains.


Thanks,

John

Hi,
If the "wal mart" power supply is CE marked and the secondary voltage is below 48v then you will not need your product to meet the LVD (unless it is a radio device where the directive states that the voltage limits are zero!!). However, if the product is electronic in nature it may still need to meet the EMC directive

Hi, Malc

I believed "CE" was standing for "Crabbe Engineering" ...
