Doug - we posted within a half-hour it seems. ;)
Actually the designers I worked-with liked the idea that the chips they
bought were tested, at least in some way, against the same standard the
end-product faced. I guess I would regard it as "better than nothing"
information.
Granted, it can be very misleading to claim a component can meet an EMC
standard. However, that is a very useful approach for safety, a whole
'nother topic.
I will make one last point. [I hear cheers?] Some designers, especially
those that struggled to pass a test you now deem unduely difficult, do not
always greet that news ("we overtested it") in a positive manner. [Long
story on the matter withheld.]
