In before any heads explode.
The CE mark certifies compliance with some standards. The device won’t give you a shock, catch on fire, radiate dangerous EMI, etc. Pretty much any consumer product has it. Look on the bottom of your laptop/tv/stereo/blender....etc
So who certified the eCat, and on what basis? (These minor details were not in the post/story.)
Does this CE certification require the device to work?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_mark
A snippet of the article:
Legally, the CE marking is no quality mark. But depending on the applicable directive the CE marking factually can be considered to be a quality mark. Deviating from sectoral directives regulating other industrial goods, medical devices have to comply with “essential requirements” as described in Annex I of Directive 93/42/EEC, according to which medical devices have to be not only safe but also function in a medical-technical way as described in the manufacturer’s “intended purpose”. Compliance with these requirements is proved within a certified quality management system according to EN ISO 13485.
It seems if it’s a medical device it does have to do what it says. I don’t see that for other devices although I could be wrong and if I am, I’m sure someone will point it out.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Waiting for the verification of eCat’s authenticity is like supporters of Sarah Palin waiting for her announcement for the Presidential campaign. I stand on the side of skepticism.
Soon.
So does Greece. :)
