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 ron_pick...@hypercom.com
