I'm just guessing, but one detail that may have impeded your search (assuming you were searching in English, not German, French, etc.) is that in UK English, "warranty/warranties" is/are _usually_ called Guarantee/Guarantees".
It is a good general point to bear in mind when searching EU and other non-US websites (also indexes and catalogs [catalogues] of printed literature, etc.) it may help to use the British spelling &/or vocabulary -- Colour vs. color, Earth vs. ground, Lift vs. elevator, tap vs. faucet, tyre vs. tire, etc. In some cases, the US word is only *sometimes* used or has different nuances of meaning, or variances of the plural form: lorry/commercial vehicle/truck vs. truck, aerial [popular term]/antenna/antennae vs. antenna/antennas, etc.). Or you could search in German, French or another EU language.

"Veit, Andy" <[email protected]> To: "'EMC-PSTC Internet Forum'" <[email protected]> Sent by: cc: owner-emc-pstc@majordom Subject: 24 Mo. Warranty for the EU o.ieee.org 11/29/2001 15:38 Please respond to "Veit, Andy" Forum- I was just informed (without any further details given) that warranty periods for products shipped to Europe going to 24 months, mandated by law. Does someone know the specifics of this, or maybe point me in the right direction? I started digging on the europa.eu.int website, but have not found anything yet.
