It is mentioned in a few places but only in an "if it has an 'E' mark..." or "When compared to an 'e' marked item..."

Am I missing something? Do they need 'E' Marks or not?

My understanding is that they have to meet a set of standards. A quick'n'easy way of proving they meet these standards is to use things that are 'e' marked - these definitely meet the standards because that's how they come to be 'e' marked. That doesn't mean things that aren't 'e' marked automatically fail - I assume it's just more complicated to prove they meet the standard...

It's like saying having a driving licence proves you know how to drive. Doesn't mean people without driving licences don't know how to drive...
