| Thanks all for the excellent information. I have been out a few days and
couldn't respond promptly.
The mfg looking for the answer has already made and pre-sold the product,
which is almost "waiting on the shipping dock." As with many, compliance
was an afterthought for them. Who knows how many they've purchased with the
American plug? This plug is integral with the 2 amp "wall-wart" supply.
My Notified Body contact is due back from vacation soon. He should know
chapter and verse. I need to be able to cite a standard or other documented
requirement.
Thanks again,
Jim

I am sorry I cannot now see the early part of the thread but I missed
the wallwart bit.
If you really have a wall wart in this project, then the easy way is to
let the foreign customer buy the wall wart in the country of use then it
is properly certified.

I had to do this for a small USA product we imported to Australia for
some years and I had to keep telling the supplier not to ship the
110volt wall warts (their shipping weight was about the same as the unit
they provided power for).
Eventually the company would not get their product certified to the Aus
standards for RF emission and we dropped them altogether.
