I read in !emc-pstc that James, Chris <[email protected]> wrote (in <[email protected]>) about 'CE EMC Directive' on Thu, 1 Jul 2004: > http://www.ieee-pses.org/symposium http://www.emc2004.org/ > -------------------------------------------------- > Read Keith Armstrong?s Compliance Club article&&&. > > > >http://www.compliance-club.com/archive1/001218.html > Some of the references to standards in that article are now out-of-date. Some of the views expressed are specifically those of the author, and go beyond the legal requirements of the EMC Directive and associated standards. This is not to say that they, such as the EMC implications of bringing together several pieces of different equipment to perform a specific function, are not real issues, but at present they are, and may remain, too complex to bring into legal requirements. On the other hand, concentration issues have been taken into account in the low-frequency conducted emission standards, IEC/EN 61000-3-2, -3, -11 and the future - 12. This is not, however, obvious from reading the texts. With regard to standards produced for the benefit of manufacturers, both IEC and CENELEC have monitoring systems in place, whereby EMC standards produced by product committees are reviewed by EMC experts. In CENELEC, the review process has recently been given slightly larger teeth. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
