I cannot agree more!! We, not the government, need to drive the technology for EMC.
I have followed this thread with interest. I have long believed that if EMC was to maintain credibility we (EMC ) would have to come up with a method of demonstrating compliance in spite of the many and varied combinations. One way is to test at the component level - like our Safety brethren - and call the assembly of tested components good!! This is methodology can be made consistent with good engineering design practice unlike the existing FCC rules for Class B equipment. On the surface the FCC Rules appear to be similar to component level testing - but under the hood, they are completely different. There are PCs out there that fail by as much as 20dB. I am all for a more logical and consistent design approach to EMC!! Thank you Charles Grasso Advisory Engineer StorageTek 2270Sth 88th Street Louisville CO 80027 M/S 4247.

This is doable but hard to sell. A good way to start would be if we did it. If someone in industry writes up a procedure and a set of limits, then everyone could use that as a "straw man", (criticizing and refining it) until eventually most people agreed. Eventually it could become an industrial (such as IEEE) standard. Then the govt would find it much easier to adopt it as is or after making their own modifications. lou --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
