Not with any confidence that he would not be pursued. The EMCD does not require ANY tests to be performed: it only requires that the Declaration of Conformity is true. The PC assembler has no way of knowing that it is true if he just relies on the DOCs of the parts. However, the Guidelines also indicate that such an assumption is likely to be justified for purely electrical control consoles for electrical machines. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
