Brian,
 
 Here's the differences in a small nutshell:
 
                         FCC       CE
 ------------------------------------
 Radiated Emissions      x         x
 Conducted Emissions     x         x
 Immunity                          x
 
 There are differences in frequency and emission limits between FCC Part 15 and 
 EN55022 (or CISPR22). However, the FCC does allow testing to the limits of 
 CISPR22 provided a couple of conditions are met. As far as immunity goes, 
 EN50082-1 or 2 requires a mulititude of tests.
 
 Well, the nutshell has now become full. This has been a very simple 
description 
 of the differences with virtually no details.
 
 To become more aware of the requirements of each in more detail, a seminar 
 might be in order for you. There are a number of organizations that provide 
 this service on different levels.
 
 I hope this helps.
 
 Best regards,
 Ron Pickard

Can someone out there tell a poor Englishman the basic differences 
between the requirements of the FCC rules and the requirements to 
comply with the EEC emc directive.
 
i.e. Do you have to do immunity testing and ESD tests to comply with 
the FCC rules that sort of thing.
