CE marking doesn't carry any weight in Mexico with their "NOM standards". Nor do they accept as a memorandum of acceptability, the results of tests already performed. Although they are based on the same tests as Europe emissions and safety, the EN series is not recognized. Nor is testing for said standards accepted by labs outside Mexico. That includes the E1 telephone stuff that has to be done down there. There is no immunity as far as I know, but my information is about a year old. To get approval, which means getting a stamp on a box, one must test in Mexico and have someone with a Mexican ID number to sign for it all. In other words, you have to have someone whose residence is Mexico. Again, my information is about a year old so I'll gladly stand corrected. --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
