Okay, bit of a strange one...

BUT.


My company has just started manufacturing PCI boards (for VPN's) and I'm trying to find out what European legislations it has to obey, and what, if any certifications we need to get to sell these.

I've found the EMC directives 89/336/EEC and 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC, but thats about it?

Can anyone help?
