Hi Sam, I wish I had seen this "magical matrix", but unfortunately I have not. I assume that a matrix like this would be very complex and comprehensive.
Example: An ITE would have to qualify for EMCD and maybe RTTE, maybe also LVD if the voltages are within the scope and if it is placed in an explosive area then the ATEX directive might also apply. A lot of maybe's and if's ....... I think we have to gain knowledge about a lot of the directives in order to know if a product falls within it. A matrix can not include that type of experience.... I think. I'm looking forward to hear other inputs from the list members.

My primary focus over the last few years has been limited to ITE and 2.4GHz SS radio products. My contact lists and web page book marks are filled with the necessary links to information regarding these types of products and I am very comfortable with obtaining compliance with the required Directives that apply. I am now exposed to many types of products destined for the EU and want to make sure to apply the proper directives and standards. Where is the magical matrix that one can pick his directive and test suite from for a given type of product? Kind Regards, Sam Wismer Engineering Manager ACS, Inc.
