Jon: Please look at the title for the 601 standard. It is an EMC safety standard. Look at EN 55011 for emissions.

EN 61000-3-2 contains limits for "professional" equipment. This >category applies to medical equipment and any other products used in the >workplace or in manufacturing activities. > I would like to clarify this point about EN 61000-3-2 and medical equipment. The scope of EN 61000-3-2 may include medical equipment. This is not the point. The regulatory requirement in the EU for medical equipment is the Medical Devices Directive. The only EMC standard which is harmonized for the MDD is EN 60601-1-2, which does not call out EN 61000-3-2. See http://europa.eu.int/comm/dg03/directs/dg3b/newapproa/eurstd/harmstds/reflis t/meddevic.html So, in order to fulfil the regulatory requirements of the EU, medical equipment does NOT have to comply with EN 61000-3-2. The inclusion of a product group within the scope of an EN standard does not necessarily imply that compliance with that standard is mandatory.
