RE: Copy of: Conducted Emissions Test Hi Richard. You wrote: <. It is my understanding that the OEM must perform the conducted emission test.> There is no absolute requirement to carry out any tests at all! But whoever 'places it on the market' in the EEC must make a Declaration of Compliance that it meets the essential protection requirements of the EMC Directive, and that's difficult to support without evidence. < Since they do not market or specify a particular power source, I understand that they may test with any source that they may choose.> Yes, but that will not be included in the EMC declaration. Only emissions from the Video Camera are relevant, not the power supply. < I further understand that if my company markets or specifies a particular power source, it is our responsibility to ensure that the final combination complies with the conducted emissions limits. Are my understandings correct?> You can either use a Power Supply that is already CE marked and make sure you use it as the manufacturers describe, or you can supply both as a 'kit' which is described as such, and either you or the person placing it on the market in the EC must make a declaration covering both bits of equipment. If your power supply contains filters to attenuate conducted emissions from the camera, then you must state that the declaration only holds true when used with that particular power supply. Hope that clears the mud a bit. Chris Dupres Surrey, UK.
