True, you don't have to apply any standard, and you don't HAVE to apply A14 yet. BUT A14 represents a considerable relaxation of the requirements for many products (as does the pending amendment to 61000-3-3) and you CAN use A14 now if you want to. A14 itself does not have anything to do with 61000-3-3. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
