The existence of non-magnetic CP stars among the ones in the CP2 and CP4 groups is discussed. Assuming to be non-magnetic a star in which the magnetic field has been measured but no value in excess of the 3σ level has been detected, the implications of the spectrum and/or light variability observed in some such stars are discussed. Since the overall properties of non-magnetic stars do not differ significantly from those of the magnetic ones and a similar variability phenomenology has been observed in several such stars, the probable presence of a weak large scale organized magnetic field is argued.
