My mail got rejected. So I send it again even if it's to late to vote!
If the device is being packaged according to eu import rules I give +1 otherwise I don't see why this should be developed. We still can't buy openwrt one in Europe and use it legally. We as a ngo and as a Ltd would like to use it but it's not possible. As far as I know this issue is not resolved till today.
1. No user manual (with producer/importer details and CE compliance declaration).
2. No CE compliance marking or declaration on the device itself.
3. Missing device identification (model/version, name, manufacturer/importer).
4. The only way to legally import these is by “refining” the product (i.e., adding all missing markings, documentation, etc.)—but that process makes the party doing the refinements fully liable.
5. Powering up or using the device could be considered illegal in Germany (especially for a company or association)
6. In case of malfunction, fire, or radio interference, insurance would likely refuse coverage, given the device’s non-compliant status.
7. The existing certificates do not change these issues, since the device is not identifiable, assignable to the certificate (missing markings)
8. The provided power plug has the needed prints on it, still would need a manual or has to be part of the product manual.
All these points make the device effectively unusable for anyone in Germany or the EU under current conditions. It’s incredibly frustrating. We spent many hours—even traveling to different offices—to clarify this. When this would be resolved 1+ .
