This question came up a couple of years ago at the IEEE EMC Symposium. Art
was the speaker and he indicted then that immunity requirements were
considered to be a marketing issue, so the FCC had no plans in that area. By
a show of hands, the only people in the audience that supported mandatory
immunity requirements were associated with military procurement. So, don't
expect the FCC or any private standards organization to press this issue. It
should be noted that the FDA has opened an investigation on immunity of
medical equipment, so there will most likely be some new requirements for
that type of equipment.

Folks,
I posed the question of Immunity standards being enforced in the USA
to Art
Whal(?) of the FCC. He did not see the need for immunity
enforcement. After a
lengthy discussion I formed the opinion that it is most likely the
FCC will
never press this issue, it will have to come from another STDs body.
Pity the USA isn't as organized as Europe;-)
Derek.
