There are many directives that are not CE marking directives, including both the GPSD and GPSR. Other examples are WEEE and the energy/ecodesign requirements for products. For example, computers must comply with 617/2013, but the CE mark is not specified to show compliance. Many energy directives have the labels with the A-G ratings as proof of compliance.

I am sure it must be; it was certainly published after 1985. By that criterion alone, it seems appropriate to apply the mark.

The proviso that you can issue a DofC against Directive 2001/95/EC but cannot CE mark the product is not stated anywhere in the official website of the EU (Europa.eu) or in the GPSD. Perhaps it’s just well hidden. ________________________________ This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
