They claim (your belief optional):

2000 in UK now
Undergoing compliance CE testing
Soon .... (probably) ...........

BUT

arch 28th update:


Update, 8.40pm Mar 28: element14 have put out a new update to their
FAQ, enlarging on what=92s happening with CE compliance. It=92s well worth
a read =96 head on over!

Update, 6pm Mar 28: we have spoken with BIS this morning, and they
have confirmed that, given the volumes involved and the demographic
mix of likely users, any development board exemption is not applicable
to us; as a result, even the first uncased developer units of
Raspberry Pi will require a CE mark prior to sale in the EU. As we
mention below, we are working with RS Components and element14/Premier
Farnell to bring Raspberry Pi into a compliant state as soon as is
humanly possible.

Following on from last week=92s discussions, both RS Components and
element14/Premier Farnell have now informed us that they are not able
to distribute the Raspberry Pi until it has received the CE mark.
While this differs from our historical view (as we=92ve said before, we
believed that the uncased Raspberry Pi is not a =93finished end
product=94, and may be distributed on the same terms as Beagleboard and
other non-CE-marked platforms), we respect their right to make that
decision.

The good news is that our first 2,000 boards arrived in the UK on
Monday and that we are working to get them CE marked as soon as is
humanly possible, in parallel with bringing the remainder of our
initial batch into the country. Pete and Eben have been burning the
midnight oil =96 literally; I only exchanged about three words with Eben
yesterday, and those were when he got back in from a long day=92s
hacking at two in the morning. On the basis of preliminary
measurements, we expect emissions from the uncased product to meet
category A requirements comfortably without modification, and possibly
to meet the more stringent category B requirements which we had
originally expected would require a metalised case.
