Hi Mat

Beware of using EMC surge testers for EN60065.  The RC network specified by
EN60065 is 1nF/1kohm.  I couldn't find any EMC surge tester manufacturer
that was willing to supply a unit with this RC network (or if they were, the
cost up was ridiculous).  I got a quote from a company based in Slovenia - 

http://www.testing.si/

and a quote for a custom made unit from a company in Scotland.  I can't find
the quotes at the moment but I am sure they were a few thousand pounds.  In
the end I couldn't justify the cost for pre compliance testing, especially
as I have never had a product fail this test.

If you like, I will dig deeper to find the quotes, please let me know.

Regards
