On Wednesday, 8 October I attended, as an observer, the first prosecution under the EMC Regulations in the UK. The case was brought by Cardiff Trading Standards against a local computer manufacturer who assembled computers from CE marked modules. The company pleaded guilty to two charges: * Failure to comply with the protection requirements and * Incorrect use of the CE mark and was fined ?1000 on each charge, and ordered to pay ?1000 costs. A computer purchased by Trading Standards had been tested and found to be significantly over the limit on conducted emissions. The company had claimed that it had followed advice commonly understood that CE + CE = CE, but now accepts that this is not true in all cases.

I would appreciate your sharing with me any tales of woe, penalties, incarceration, or any other horror stories related to companies who have either inadvertently not complied with the regulations, or who have been deliberately lax in doing so. Again, EMC is more my interest.
