It has been my experience that both the US and European Military have the option to waive commercial EMI and safety requirements. Additionally they have MIL-Stds, MOD (Ministry of Defense) and other military standards they may choose to require. For our products which are "COTS", (Commercial Off The Shelf) we have been fortunate that these military standards are not mandated. Using CISPR, FCC, CE or NRTL on commercial products to the military saves our military customers money and allow us to manufacture our products to a commercial standard. From my perspective it works well.
Feel free to contact me off line if you would like to discuss this in greater detail.

I've heard the UK excludes military equipment from CE marking. Do other countries also exclude military equipment from the EMC Directive? If CISPR standards are not used for European military equipment, would MIL-STD-461 be used? ---- Patrick Lawler [email protected] ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
