Hello,
Virtually all electronic products to be sold to consumers within EU
have to fulfill CE. When using an already approved Mains to DC
converter, you can avoid some part of safety (EN 60950). Other things
like EMC, WEEE, ROHS remain.
For EMC visit:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/electr_equipment/emc/index.htm.
The EMC guide
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/electr_equipment/emc/guides/emcguide_may2007.pdf
gives detailed info on the application of the EMC directive.
The easiest way to show compliance to EMC directive and safety is to
find an appropriate product standard for you product. When you meet
the requirements, conformity is presumed.
Best regards,
Wim
