Hello Gary, Basically it is the company that decides which equipment is rated as being professional or not. Be ready however to justify. Part of it is in your question already. Other standards actually are more precise about the definition of professional:
EN 55103-1 Professional apparatus: Apparatus for use in trades, professions or industries and which is not intended for sale to the general public. I think , as this is a harmonized standard for the emc-directive, that this definition will do. At this very moment I am preparing a definition for the EN 61000-3-2 (revised edition) to put under vote and to add to the standard ,possibly you have something to add?
