Hello Mike,
If you can imagine the magnitude of the job of actually enforcing the
EMC directive and handing out penalties it must be enormous.
Therefore, the EU member states have undoubtedly decided to allow us
manufacturers a "grace period" in which they will be enforcing the
directive but with a soft hand. This is there way of saying "We have
no idea where to begin on enforcement proceedings or what rules apply
to what products; therefore, lets take the first twelve months to
figure the whole thing out."
Just my thoughts - not really based in any fact.

Just read an article from the 4 April 1996 issue of the
(London?) Financial Times that quotes a Dave Imeson, identified
as EMC manager of IBM UK services, as saying that there has
been an agreement among the EU member states to have a 12-month
period of "administrative tolerance" re the EMC directive.
Anybody know what Dave might be referring to?
