YES!

The Europen CE issue are just a pain in the ass for small builders
and small cottage industrys.
Every single piece have to be CE approved, even prototypes and/or single
units!

I personally  dont give the CE thing any moment of thaughts,
I just want that to go to hell and sink slowly.
I know many larger manufacturers that do the same, for one example:
a major/larger modem manufactur just plain simply "fake" the CE label
and just sign the CE paper.They cant afford to do his "costly CE
approval for
ewery 4 months...

"ATTENTION""Achtung"Advarsel"Beware
All home builders, stand up show your "uggly fist" to the CE people.
All home builders, stand upp and start oscillate and avoid to get
standard!

Be DEVOluted.
