The EMC guidelines read: "... If the component is intended to be placed on the market as a single commercial unit for distribution and/or final use this function has to be available WITHOUT further adjustment or connections other than SIMPLE ones which can be performed by any person not fully aware of the EMC implications..." After seeing all the other list positings and thinking some more, I'm going to change my opinion on what this should be marked as. Originally, I said component. But... This is a module that when added to a PC brings new capibility. But, it also adds a path for noise to exit a system that the manufacturer may have tested ( if they even did ) differently. So I guess, I would say now that the module should be CE marked, and at a minimum, the contribution it makes to radiated emissions determined. I guess my second 2 cents worth.... Derek N.
