1.3 mhz A/V transmitter/receiver

[Nikotine]

Hi,

Are the 1.3 mhz A/V transmitter/receiver modules CE marked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_mark)?
I've had electronics been held by customs due to missing CE marking...

Don't enter the '?' into the highlighted text.

Now I know what that useless sticker means!

From Wikipedia:

Meaning
Existing in its present form since 1993, the CE marking is a key indicator of a product’s compliance with EU legislation and enables the free movement of products within the European market. By affixing the CE marking on a product, a manufacturer is declaring, on ones sole responsibility, conformity with all of the legal requirements to achieve CE marking and therefore ensuring validity for that product to be sold throughout the European Economic Area. This also applies to products made in third countries which are sold in the EEA.

CE marking does not indicate that a product was made in the EEA,[3] but merely states that the product is assessed before being placed on the market and thus satisfies the legislative requirements (e.g. a harmonised level of safety) to be sold there. It means that the manufacturer has verified that the product complies with all relevant “essential requirements” (e.g. safety, health, environmental protection requirements) of the applicable directive(s) – or, if stipulated in the directive(s), had it examined by a notified conformity assessment body.

However, not all products must bear the CE marking. Only those product categories subject to specific directives that provide for the CE marking are required to be CE marked. CE marked products are bought not only by professionals (e.g. medical devices, lifts, machinery and measuring equipment) but also by consumers (toys, PCs, mobile phones and light bulbs).

[edit] Countries requiring the CE markingThe CE marking is mandatory for certain product groups in the European Economic Area (EEA), consisting of the 27 Member States of the EU and EFTA countries Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. It is also obligatory for all products made in third countries (non-member states) which are sold in the EEA. In that case, the importer has to make sure that the manufacturer outside the EU has taken the necessary steps that allow him to affix the CE marking.

It is still not required within the member countries of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), although some of them (Republic of Macedonia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro) are official candidates for membership to the European Union, and are already adopting many of its standards within their legislation (like most of the former Central European countries that were members of CEFTA before joining the EU).

This forum screwed up the url automagically :-)
Useless, yes, but it's kind of like the fcc marking in the US for radiotransmitting devices.

So, is the marking on there?
If not, I'll order the transmitter and receiver seperate from the rest of my wishlist, so the whole package doesnt get seized.

I don't think so.
