Self assembly electronic kits

[bongo]

Hi,

I'm producing a range of electronic self-build kits (rather like Velleman if you are familar with those). So these will consist of components and a PCB with detailed assembly instructions. The consumer will do the soldering. Checking the manufacturers sites suggests the CE marking does not seem to be required - none of the big suppliers seem to have CE marking on their kits. A few do seem to CE marking but this is not the norm.

Will my products require CE marking? Similarly, if a lower level of self assembly is required (no soldering) then would CE be needed? An example would be the Formula Flowcode buggy by Matrix Multimedia - this does not seem to have CE marking.

Many thanks,

Andy

Who are your customers? End users, or businesses who use your components in their products?

Any ideas as to the position?
