That depends on which standard has been applied to the wall wart. If the product and the wall wart are sold together, the combination must conform to EN 60065. > I am also interested in what EMC requirements apply, and whether the >emissions classification would class A or class B. The safety standard is EN 60065 and the EMC standards are EN 55103-1 and EN 55103-2. There is no 'Class A' or 'Class B' in EN 55103-1. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
