Ian, In short. There is an MRA between US and Europe that covers the Sectoral Annex EMC and Telecom. E.g for EMC, Conformity Assessment Bodies (CAB's) were assigned in the Europe for FCC regulation as wel as CAB's were assigned in US for EMC directive in Europe. An easy way for European Companies to get products approved locally in Europe for US and vice versa. And it works. The Sectoral Annex Safety could have given the same benefits to mftr's, but will be suspended now from EU side for the reasons as explained in the OJEC.
So no need to panic, life could have been easier, but you can sleep peacefully.

As an instrument manufacturer selling products into both the US and EU do I need to panic over this, or can I ignore it and sleep peacefully in my bed at nights?
