Prior to EU Directives and CB Scheme, many European test agencies required both safety and EMC data to approve. However, EU member states accept Declaration of Conformity (or other acceptable methods) for Safety and EMC conformity. CB Scheme applies only to IEC 950, and has no provision to include EMC requirements. The rumored VDE position is logical, but cannot apply to CB cert/report. It may apply to Certificate of Conformity to harmonized EU EMC standards. George Alspaugh Lexmark International
