Sileem Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted January 30, 2014 I can sell you a special à la carte baseplate without the sticker... Good to hear So there is à la carte version. I wonder why isn't the CE only in product documentation? It's like spam, how can they even pollut spam on products. Ooo plz send me that à la carte baseplate and post the pill to CE folks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted January 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 30, 2014 The CE marking or formerly EC mark, is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985.[1] The CE marking is found even on products sold outside the EEA, because they are either products manufactured in the EEA and have been exported, or they were manufactured in other nations which have EEA as a prime market. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area. It is similar then, in that sense, to the FCC Declaration of Conformity used on certain electronic devices sold in the United States. source: CE marking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted January 31, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 31, 2014 source: CE marking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Then there is the Chinese fake CE marking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sileem Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted January 31, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wouldn't it be better to print the CE to another side of the bottom plate? So it would be inside. Now there is 2 external symbols. The sexy Leica red dot and the ugly CE. It's like my old refrigerator with x-men stickers from when i was kid. Though haven't seen the CE symbol on all EU made products. Perhaps it's not a mandatory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 31, 2014 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2014 It has to be visible so that the purchaser knows that the product complies with the requirements of the applicable EC directives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted January 31, 2014 Share #9 Posted January 31, 2014 I guess the same fascination applies with the plastic that covers a new sofa, should you take it off, or should you keep it on? One school of thought is 'I can't be bothered to take it off, and it will stop stains' , the other may be 'I love it and want to keep it forever and want to take the plastic off and see my sofa in all its beauty'. But that's just kidding, seriously, the European Union will take you to Court if it is removed, and if it comes off accidentally you need to apply for a new one, with the certificate.

earleygallery Posted January 31, 2014 Share #10 Posted January 31, 2014 I do think a sticker is a bit 'cheap' on a Leica. The info should be engraved on the baseplate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted February 1, 2014 Share #11 Posted February 1, 2014 I do think a sticker is a bit 'cheap' on a Leica. The info should be engraved on the baseplate. Or perhaps inside where it can be viewed if desired by simply removing the baseplate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
