     Lyle,
     
     What if a component is a pwb assembly that fits the definition 
     that you gave for direct function, with the understanding that 
     the customer must EITHER:
          1. be in possession of one of our end-products in order to   
          have a socket designed to mate with the component pwb assy,  
          so that powering and signal paths will match, or
     
          2. as you say, provide (by his own methods) "connection      
          essential for its electrical power supply or for the         
          exchange of analogue or digital signals."?
     
     Would the 1996 guidelines consider such a component to have 
     "direct function"?
     
     Examples of what I'm referring to are component pwb assy's that 
     provide functions such as RF signal amplification, automatic gain 
     control, etc.
     
     Thanks,
     Doug Kealey

The best guidance on CE marking of components for the EMC Directive is 
included in the 1996  revision of the "Guidelines on the application of 
council directive 89/336EEC......"   If you dont' have a copy, you need to 
get one.

The guidelines  include over three pages of discussion relating to 
application of the EMC Directive to components.  The key point is that 
components do not need to comply with the directive unless they are placed 
on the market for distribution and use AND perform a direct function. 
Direct function means any function which meets the needs of a user and can 
be directly used by such a user, without the need to make any further 
adjustments other than any connection essential for its electrical power 
supply or for the exchange of analogue or digital signals.
