That is not true.
It is illegal to *sell* things without CE marks to the unwashed
public, but you are allowed to import for personal use.
In addition there are a vast array of exemptions, including
professional test & measurement equipment.
Furthermore, anything constructed before the CE mark requirement came
into force in their local country are OK.

No, it is not, stop spreading FUD.
