Actually, as a manufacturer outside the EU, he doesn't have to supply any documentation at all. Anyone who imports his PSU:s into the EU however (even for personal use) is legally responsible for them conforming to the EU directives. So if someone, say, were to be zapped by my DIY build containing his PSU, I really need to be able to show a (proper, signed, backed by technical files!) declaration of conformity and the supporting documentation. So in this regard it is imperative that he makes the documentation available to the buyer. The authorities will ask
me for them, not him.
Moreover, by putting the CE mark on his PSU:s he promises to the customer that they live up to certain standards for safety, emissions etc. I expect him to base these promises on more than just
hope. I mean, he's literally writing that he doesn't have any EMI measurements at all! For a SMPS! Quote:
"- you say low EMI. How much lower than FCC class B or CISPR are these for conducted emissions and also for radiated emissions using a synthetic load? Do you have readily available plots?
I don't have any plot yet, to be honest, but it is low to the level it's not disturbing any sensitive device around it."
So he's fooling the customer into believing that his PSU:s are conformant, and leaving any legal problems in the customer's lap. At least be honest about them not being CE conformant so the customer understands the risk!
You really should have a look at the video, and/or read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking - see section "Rules underlying CE marking":
"Responsibility for CE marking lies with whoever puts the product on the market in the EU, i.e. an EU-based manufacturer, the importer or distributor of a product made outside the EU, or an EU-based office of a non-EU manufacturer.
The manufacturer of a product affixes the CE marking to it but has to take certain obligatory steps before the product can bear CE marking. The manufacturer must carry out a conformity assessment, set up a technical file, and sign a Declaration stipulated by the leading legislation for the product. The documentation has to be made available to authorities on request.
Importers of products have to verify that the manufacturer outside the EU has undertaken the necessary steps and that the documentation is available upon request. Importers should also make sure that contact with the manufacturer can always be established."
Anyway, he saying he's "too busy to fill out the phone number, company registration, etc.." is really all I need to know about his business. No need for me to waste more time here. I hope that noone is fooled by his woefully inadequate "Compliance.pdf" file! It is completely worthless.
