Raspberry Pi Gets a Red-Tape Delay; Awaits CE Certificate

Posted by timothy on from the bureaucrats-are-middle-management dept.

judgecorp writes "After many delays, the Raspberry Pi computer has arrived in Britain, but has been stopped by the need for a CE approval sticker to say it meets European regulations. The Raspberry Pi Foundation expects the sticker to be a formality, and says it failed to apply because it thought the Pi did not qualify as a 'finished end product.'"
