Quite right John - thanks for catching the slip. Here's my amended running compilation: - Japan - Has requirements based on the previous rev. of 61000-3-2 (still has the "special waveshape" in it) that appear to be guidelines only (ie voluntary) unless you are a member of JEITA.
- China - standard is GB17625.1, presently aligned to IEC61000-3-2:1995, amendment 1 (reflecting EN61000-3-2:A14) is in the works. - USA - IEEE 519 covers distortion, which is related to harmonic content. It is a utility standard that doesn't seem likely to get applied to product approvals. I was also told that it seems "exceedingly unlikely...that the present edition of IEC 61000-3-2" will get adopted in the US. - Australia / New Zealand - I'm told the "current edition of IEC 61000-3-2 is being studied, but the level of controversy over it makes adoption unlikely". - Korea - "moving in this direction" For the forum, here's my amended running compilation. If anyone has anything more to add, I'll keep this going for a while. Jim Eichner, P.Eng.

EN 60950 has nothing to do with it. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
