Hi LITTLEWORF You asked:
> Do all EU countries have similar laws to the UK? No. The Individual States of the EC are obliged to carry out the requirements of the EMC Directive. This they do in their own way, the commonality being provided by Harmonized Standards (ENxxxx) and consultative committees. Essentially the laws should all be the same 'In Spirit', but detail differences do exist. The Laws are all sufficiently similar to permit the CE mark applied in one state to be valid in all states. One example is that Germany require the CE Mark to be applied to the actual product, the UK requires that it may be applied to things that are identified with the product, manuals, guarantees etc. rather than the product itself. There are probably hundreds of similar examples, and this forum is the ideal place to air the sillier ones. Chris Dupres EMC Specialist. VG Microtech.
