Just to add to the discussion! "Listed/Compliance" markings mean many different things, to many different areas of the earth. In the USA, what is acceptable is determined, state by state. In the state of Washington, there are several listings that are acceptable, CE is not one of them. IP ...

There is a machine tool outfit in Gresham. He post up on CL all the time. In case your interested.
