No argument there, Derek.  I was looking at a wider picture which includes
personal computers under the FCC Rules.  In that case, for self declaration,
an accredited laboratory is required.  For the EMC Directive in Europe, no
accreditation is required.

Ghery,

in your reply it reads as though an accredited lab is required. I want to 
make sure it is clear that for compliance with the EMC Directive it IS NOT 
the case.

Use of an accredited lab may make life easier, but, I reiterate, it is not 
required.

Best regards,

Derek Walton
