You are correct, if indeed the Annex is Informative. But that is exceedingly surprising. > I'm not sure if this is also >true for other Euro safety standards. No, it is not, for any that I know about anyway. > >I wonder if other people have noticed this difference between >"informative" and "normative" annexes. How is this interpreted?

In any case, they are *purely* informative. -- 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.
