That is EXCEEDINGLY MISLEADING. It is *strictly* true, insofar as the EMC Directive does not require ANY TESTING AT ALL, of any sort of product. It only requires that the Declaration of Conformity be true. But that is not even half of the story. > See FCC rules and EMC Directive >guidelines for full details. However, the points made are correct. Yes, here is the BIG BUT: >CE+CE=CE is not guaranteed and the manufacturer/integrator is responsible >for the compliance of the product. How can you be sure that the Declaration is true if you do not do any tests? -- 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.
