They don't even know if it can be sold in the EU or if the whole batch
will have to be scrapped.

Back in the real world, increasingly it looks like RS and Farnell are
attempting to sell vapourware.

Had a message from Farnell yesterday saying that they are assisting
with the CE testing and inviting me to place an order.

In short nothing.

They need CE marks before they can be sold.

Is this a difficult thing to get? I have seen some utter utter crap on
sale on these glorious shores, so I can't believe it's particularly
difficult to get. Or is it a case of brown envelopes, sir?

It can go on the packaging or the documentation.

Oh, you mean they haven't even been *tested*, or at least self
certified? What a cock-up.

You don't want to go actually testing them, you never know what you
might find actually slapping a label on them and producing a
declaration of conformity is much easier

They were hoping they wouldn't have to CE mark them as they a
component part

production boys used cheaper non isolating sockets on the Ethernet. puts
a voltage on the ethernet and can destroy other kit.

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

No, this is a separate problem. It's the CE problem...they understood
that they could sell them without CE because they were 'unfinished' (not
in cases, etc.). They've now been told that is not so.

Probably a case of them thinking that would be how they'd do it when the
RPi foundation were going to manufacture an sell themselves, but
RS/Farnell deciding they weren't happy now that *they* are licensed to
do the manufacturing and selling.

Rubbish.
The other kit will have the isolating transformers so it is safe.
The Pi might get killed by PoE.

Had mine for a couple of weeks now... Intersting little bit of kit!
somewhat slower then I expected, but it's getting there. Fully functional
as a little Linux box (with the addition of cabling, keyboard, mouse, etc.)
