@zhenech@chaos.social @Hoonse@chaos.social And even then, I am not 100% sure of "certification". They are explicitly sold as hobbyist dev boards not finished consumer products in an effort to avoid some of the more onerous issues.
At the end of the day, if I, as an individual, can order a custom PCB from a PCB manufacturer without that PCB manufacturer having to "certify" it for compliance, then surely I can then sell that on to someone else on the same basis?
But laws are not always so simple.

@revk@toot.me.uk @zhenech@chaos.social @Hoonse@chaos.social Yeah, the variance in consumer-protection laws in different jurisdictions might be a royal pain.

@revk@toot.me.uk thank you very much for your reply. Im in austria and as far as i understood it id need a ce certification wich i can do my own but i have never done that. :/ Im not sure if i could legally resell the manufactured pcb legally without ce. Countries in europe are going a bit crazy about that. In germany they have a law wich makes it very hard to sell electronics because the seller is also responsible for the electronic waste…
