Daren, thanks for pointing out the EN 55014 series includes battery
chargers. I missed that. Yes, these are the appropriate product family
standards and would take precedence over the generic standards. The
harmonics and flicker standards still apply.

One caveat: If the equipment includes digital circuits with clocks above 9
kHz, then the generic emission standard would apply since it specifies that
both EN 55022 and EN 55014-1 are to be used for emissions.

        You might find the following standards of use, EN55014-1 and
EN55014-2 they have a section for Battery chargers.

        regards Darren.
