The product consists of one assembled item
Also when a product consists of only one ‘item’, it is not uncommon that this item has been assembled by the manufacturer, using several parts (but it is not intended to be disassembled by the consumer). The parts composing the item (product) are often used in more than one design of products. Normally, some parts would not be large enough to bear an identification element and yet other parts might not allow marking with an identification element for technical reasons (uneven surface, spherical shaped surface etc.). Also in this case it is allowed to affix an item number on the packaging and to use the same number on the EU Declaration of Conformity.
