Formally they (customs) are right.
PSU's are equipment in their own right just as PC plug-in cards and need EMC (CE) marking. Testing in a full system does not guarantee that the result is the same as in another system, especially not in PC world where parts change quicker than transport time.

I do not understand why LVD and ROHS would be taken care of and not EMC.
Wasn't the electrical safety tested as part of a full system  ? 🙂
Not the first time that customs in a associated country (for CE) are more severe as the EU itself. I've seen before. It's all part of the making sure they are fit for an EU membership (even if local politics dare/won't not say the "join" word yet)

Dear Gilbert,

One Soulution could be:
You have to include the whole list of all separate orderable spare part modules to your CE Declaration.
Of course the PSU is EMC LVD etc. tested in the overall system.
Also be aware that Turkey checks the Date of Issue of your CE Declaration against the Date of arrival of your goods in Turkey and therefore whether or not you had a valid CE Declaration at the time of importing your spare part.

Best regards Kurt

    Having a problem sending replacement 1U PSUs into Turkey.
    Apparently they (customs) are requiring full EMC certification,
    which no PSU manufacturer does. They do LVD, RoHS, but not EMC.
    These are useless outside of a system they are intended to be
    installed into and certified in. PSU manufacturer DoC explains
    this. We certify in a full system.

    I am under the impression that Turkey is supposed to be following
    EU CE rules. We do not have this issue in any other country on the
    planet. Has anyone else run into this problem?
