In a message dated 97-03-19, Jerry Roberton writes the following regarding the "Blue Angel" program:
<< Its the German "environmental excellence" marque. >> I have heard about the Blue Angel program from a client. My client's product is a large machine that is intended for use in commercial office environments. In my judgement, this product clearly qualifies as Class A under EN 55022. However, my client claims that to obtain the "Blue Angel" mark, the equipment must comply with the Class B limits. Can anyone clarify the following questions for me? 1) How widely recognized is the Blue Angel program? 2) Is it directed at consumer products, commercial products, or both? 3) Does the Blue Angel program impose stricter requirements than EN 55022 would otherwise impose? In particular, does it require that all products be Class B? I would certainly appreciate any clarification that others on emc-pstc might be able to offer.
