>> Greetings,
>> 
>> These 2 questions may seem rather naive, but I never really had to
>> address
>> them.  Any help by those who have direct experience would be greatly
>> appreciated.
>> 
>> 1. I heard the statement "The EU does not accept emissions data from a
>> semi-anechoic chamber (SAC)"  Since I deal mostly with ITE, I looked in
>> EN55022-1987, para. 10.3.3 and see no mention of the use of anything but
>> an
>> OATS.  The question is "Does all testing to EN55022 have to be performed
>> at
>> an OATS or can I use a SAC which has a "good" normalized site
>> attenuation
>> (<+/- 4 dB)?"  It would seem to me that if you are self certifying, you
>> would want to be confident the equipment passes with enough margin that
>> it
>> would pass anywhere. If you felt confident using a current probe and a
>> scope, then go ahead and self-certify.
>> 
>> 2. My second question deals with the famous person who signs test
>> reports
>> and is the responsible person (i.e. jail time) should the data be found
>> to
>> be bogus.  Again, assume we are self certifying ITE equipment.  I was
>> told
>> that the responsible person must be a resident of the EU.  A company in
>> the
>> States could not self certify and place the CE mark on equipment with
>> "only" the head of quality signature, assuming the head of quality lives
>> in
>> Anytown USA.  I also heard that less than reputable companies in the
>> States
>> find "some European guy" who will sign anything and can vanish if the
>> need
>> arises.
>> 
>> Some of this sounds like urban legend to me, but I appreciate any
>> comments
>> you may have.
>> 
>> Thanks in advance...
