That answer is obviously completely unsatisfactory and the CE marking is invalid. Each individual product must be fully compliant with the markings and this one isn't! It is currently illegal to sell it until we lose the CE regulations, but then there is no enforcement now (or ever much) anyway. In an EICR it could easily generate a C2 as said above. The provided CE certificate also appears to be false, in that it is non-compliant with the regulations so we must assume it is a China Export mark, which is also illegal as the mark is trademarked to the EU, and obviously used to deceive the purchaser. Rather a sorry story really. I also wonder why the maintained fitting needs an Earth, presumably the battery circuits have some isolation problems? All very strange. A recovery of British manufacturing would be a very good thing.
It's not a proper CE mark anyway - its dimensions are wrong. The C is too close to the E.
