CE-mark, EMC Directive comments. In the UK the situation has been quiet since 1/1/96 but I think things are changing. Enforcement in the UK is in the hands of the Trading Standards Officers, but is complaint-driven.
The newspaper "Electronics Weekly" (19/2/97) carries a front page story about a possible prosecution resulting from the Cardiff Trading Standards testing of four PCs at the end of last year, three of which allegedly failed EMC tests. They also report that one EMC test house claims an increase in bookings from PC manufacturers following the recent threat of prosecution.
