Hi Forum, With regards to a previous topic. I recently had an email from my colleague in France with regards a product that has not primarily been designed for in-vehicle use even although it could be if the customer so wishes via the cigarette lighter supply (I have removed the name of the actual test house): " A French automotive test house working with a notified body, declare that as the product is not primarily intended to be used in a vehicle then it does not have to be compliant with 95/54/EC directives but only with 89/336/EC". Does the forum agree with this statement? and therefore all the relavent Notified Bodies of the EU should assume the same decision?

It looks like all products for vehicle application, even they have been certified to EMC Directive or R&TTE Directive, must be certified to 95/54/EC (vehicle EMC directive) before Oct 1, 2002. It seems to me that the certification route for vehicle EMC directive is different with EMC directive or RTTE directive certification. I am looking for an accredited lab/body that is authorized to certify ESAs products to 95/54/EC. I wonder if all these labs/bodies are located in Europe or there are some in USA. I understand that these labs/bodies should be authorized by the Ministry of Transportation of a EU member state. A certification done by such a lab will be accepted by all other EU member states. I appreciate it very much if someone familiar with this can shed some light. Thanks a lot, Fang
