I've been reading messages from this list for several months, and I see many questions about how to comply with the long list of EMC standards. Yet, I can't recall anyone ever questioning the appropriateness of any standard. That is, should the standand add value to a product or to those who use it? Is it that the EMC engineer's place is not to question the wisdom of a standard's value, but simply to make products with those standards, whether or not we agree with the intent of those standards? That's not to say that these regulations are bad. Maybe they're good because they make the world a better place for those who use electronic products.
