What happens if a signal booster does not carry the CE mark

In the EU:
* Illegality Selling in the EU is illegal without a CE declaration[4].
* Fines and Penalties Ignoring CE declaration can lead to monetary fines, and possibly jail time if the product is hazardous[4].
* Liability The manufacturer or importer can be held accountable for any damage caused by the device and might be forced to recall the product and reimburse clients[4].
* Import Refusal Customs may refuse the import of products from outside the EU if they lack CE marking[4].
* Compliance Issues The product does not meet health, safety, and environmental standards[5].

General Considerations:

* Interference Without proper regulation and certification, signal boosters can interfere with cellular networks[9].
* Legal Issues Using a non-compliant signal booster can lead to fines or other legal issues[3].
* Safety Risks Non-CE marked products may not have undergone the necessary testing to ensure they are safe[4].
* Quality Concerns The absence of a CE mark can indicate that the product has not been thoroughly tested for quality and safety[4]. There is no need to publish the full testing report. Meaning you can obtain approval without actually meeting requirements, potentially leading to unsafe products[4].

In Europe, signal boosters must have a CE marking to ensure compliance with regulations and avoid interference with mobile networks[3]. Devices must also not exceed the power limits specified in EU regulations to prevent interference[9].
