EN 61000-3-2 is not a generic standard. It is a product family standard
(says so right in the standard plus it is listed in the OJ, generic
standards do not show up in the OJ).

Chris has a point, since 61000-3-2 is a stand-alone product family standard
(all equipment 16A and under), it is not necessary for anything else to
call it up.

Chris,

EN55103-1 is a product family standard, which takes precedence over generic
standards, and must therefore make reference to all Basic Standards that
are
applicable to equipment within its scope. You will also find that
EN61000-3-2 is called up by the generic standards such as EN61000-6-3.

I think we are in agreement that conformity to EN61000-3-2 is required for
a
mains powered product to comply with the EMC Directive (using the standards
route).

What puzzles me is, why does EN55103-1 (pro audio emissions) call up
EN61000-3-2?  Surely there is no need for the standard to do this?

Regards

Chris Colgan
