And my dick's bigger than both of yours !!!

Now please give it up, you couple of ego-centric idiots and grow up.

All you have to do is Google on 'CE Marking' - but the requirements are
well summarised at:
http://www.nqa.com/guide31.html

The relevant wording at the end ("Conclusion" for the simple-minded)
states "CE Marking shows all parties that the product has been produced
in accordance with the appropriate Directive(s), so care must be taken
to ensure that these requirements are met in order for manufacturer to
take advantage of free movement of goods". No doubt you are both clued
up enough to see that here there's no mention of testing - so all that
is required is a declaration (in the "Technical File - held by the
manufacturer/importer) that the equipment/item been designed to conform
with the relevant directive(s). The only exception to this is in the
case of medical equipment where in the EU "model/type testing" must be
done at one of the ISO certified testing centres (BSI in the UK, DIN in
Germany), and in the US (and North America) at the FDA.

As a practical demonstration of the non-testing of actual product, all
you have to do is observe the number of "product recalls" that occur
both in the EU and in North America. Had such products been actually
tested, then such product recalls would never occur.
