CE? I am surprised that they did not want it to read "95 - 265 VAC"

That is what most CE equipment works at.

It makes a product that barely works in Japan's 90V realm, and then
only on some products.

I had to do a redesign to insure that a production printer (supply)would
be marketable/functional in Japanese geographical/voltage markets.

Note: That was a slash, not a dash. This was not a "universal input",
it was a dual-voltage device, with a 2:1 switchable primary. I was
surprised that they didn't want 110/220 or 120/240 or 115/230. Nope,
they insisted on 110/240. Go figure.

Technically it should be 120/240, I think the examiner wasn’t awfully
intelligent.
Was this a UL CB ?

Cheers

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

This was an outfit from Canada that specialized in CE approvals.

You have a medical device that uses a linear front end?
