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.

The OpenWrt One is sold on Amazon Germany website, so I assume it is
available for purchase inside the EU, see

https://www.amazon.de/Banana-Pi-One-Router-Integrated/dp/B0DJSJ3XG6

There has been a debate on the forums about CE compliance and I understood
that all issues have been resolved, see

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-one-ce-and-frequency-range/223173/44

Regarding the device identification esp. I see that the exact board name
and revision are stated on the certification as well as printed on the PCB,
so please elaborate what exactly is missing from your point of view.

> 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.
