Folks,
Reader Chris and longtime blog friend Carl, pointed out that the "CE" Mark, that will likely be required for RoHS in the future, means "Conformité Européene". (Not Consultants Europe, as I said in a recent posting.) It appears that getting the CE mark can be done by a third party or a self declaration. My sense is that for a product like a laptop PC, it will require a considerable amount of analysis and paperwork.
Cheers,
Dr. Ron
