There is nothing in the EMC directive itself that recognizes ITE as a separate catorgory, this catorgory only appears in the harmonised standards. The directive is the basic document and it calls for all radiocommunications equipment (except amateur radio) to have EC type examination. Certainly the UK Radiocommunications Agency, and I suspect other national bodies, interpet this to include almost everything that emits electromagnetic energy anywhere within a very wide spectrum as an essential part of its function. Plug in radio cards that include a transmit function certainly fall within this definion. Nick Rouse
