CE approval

I have started this thread as a spin-off from 'Clock Radios' as it is taking a digression I am still having problems with LED spotlights. These are MR16 12 Volt units. They carry the CE marking but the supplier says they are not EMC compliant. I have been told various different things: 1. The supplier says that the bulbs do not require to be EMC compliant, only power unit (as you seem to be saying). 2. Consumer helpline say that only 'low voltage' equipment needs to be EMC compliant but they do not know what 'low voltage' means. 3. The EMC Directive suggests all 'apparatus' is covered. 4. The Telegraph suggests that EMC compliance is voluntary: 5. My understanding is that the CE marking denotes compliance with EMC. Arey they allowed to mark non EMC compliant bulbs as CE? Scott

It is the responsibility of the first importer into the EU. It is quite surprising how many first importers are based in garages in Latvia and Estonia
