John By "the wider issue" I was referring to your assertion that "The EMC Guidelines document explains that having no active components is NOT grounds for exemption from the EMC Directive." If this were the case then it would have far reaching implications for many industries since all "Electromagnetically Benign" equipment might require testing. Furthermore I imagine this would have legal implications for the UK Government appointed Competent Body which advised my company that benign equipment is exempt. This Competent Body helped us compile a list of products within our range to which this exclusion applied. Item 17 of the following web page shows this to be the case in UK law: http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si1992/Uksi_19922372_en_1.htm

What 'wider issue'? The discussion was about loudspeakers and headphones. I'm not suggesting that digital watches should be CE-marked. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
