Lots of people are saying EN55011. I must really be missing
something.
EN55011's title is:
Limits and Methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics
of industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio-frequency equipment.
Note the _radio-frequency_ designation.
Section 4 says:
Classification of ISM equipment.
[blah, blah]
4.1 Separation into groups
Group 1 ... equipment in which there is intentionally generated and/or
used conductively coupled radio frequency energy which is necessary
for the internal functioning of the equipment itself.
Group 2 ... equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally
generated and/or used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the
treatment of material, and spark erosion equipment.
Does your device use RF energy to do the work you need done? If not
then you don't use EN55011.
My experience is way too many people use EN55011 because of the ISM
label. It's for surgical knives (spark gap knives) and spectrum
analyzers.
Does this sound correct?
