The EMC issues of wired networks have come to prominence recently with the upgrading of existing copper networks to carry digital signals at higher bit rates. This has produced challenges in the regulatory and standards arenas which have yet to be resolved. The presentation will describe the compliance and enforcement issues associated with current developments, for both the network itself, and the terminal equipment. Brian Jones has been involved with EMC for twenty years, for the last nine as a consultant and, prior to that, in BT where he created and managed a UKAS-accredited laboratory. He is secretary to the CENELEC EMC committee TC210 and to its WG1 dealing with coordination and strategic matters. He is chairman of the trade association Intellect's EMC committee and represents them at the BSI EMC Committees.
