In principle, yes, because it is assumed that different applications are likely to involve different EMC environments, especially in respect of what other equipment in the vicinity might be sensitive (e.g. radio microphones in the professional audio/video application). In practice, you apply the more severe requirement (which, for immunity, would be the security application standard in most cases) and document exactly what you did in your technical file (the 'optional' one, associated with applying the standards, not a 'Technical File Route' file). You then cite all the relevant standards in your DOC. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Eat mink and be dreary! ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
