Yes, there are three important ones I can think of: 1) You won't be in control of any changes to the power supply. 2) The power supply mfr is under no obligation to inform you of any changes except through maybe some contractual arrangement. 3) If such changes result in non-compliance, you will have to answer for them. --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
