Default Mirrors

Just looking at buying mirrors and noticed very few are e marked. then looked in the IVA manual.

"7. All mirrors must have an acceptable approval marking or have equivalent characteristics to a mirror approved for use on a vehicle of the same category as follows:

The reflective surface must be encased in a protective housing.

surfaces contactable by a 165mm sphere (interior) or a 100mm
sphere (exterior) must have a radius of curvature of at least 2.5mm – except for fixing holes or recesses less than 12mm wide, which must be blunted"

So mirrors don't need e marking they just need to comply?
