I have a query, we have process that was originally purchased/used by our collegues in the US, this process has now been internally shipped to our plant in the UK but some machinery equipment doesn't bear a CE Mark; the equipment is within the CE Standard (conforms to US Standards) so does this still need to bear a CE Mark to be used in the UK even if the purchase of the equipment went to our US Plant first?

Second opinion - Yes, agreed

4th opinion 'YES' Your UK part of the company has brought the eqipment in to the UK and so are deemed to be placing the equipment 'on the market' even if it is only internally to your company. Also make sure the US standards it was designed too - meet equivalent European standards and satisfy the Essential Heakth and Safety Requirements.

Thanks for all the response. I don't know for sure if the US kit meets the EU Standards, until an assessment as been made but initial investigations showed that the US Standards had declared it as Class 2, Division 2 (apparently the equivalent). What makes the situation more complicated is that some of the process is deemed as 20-22 zones through the DSEAR assessment, internals of the process, and some of that equipment is not CE marked.
