Dave, I have been trying for some time now to find out just exactly how
limits lines were derived. Can you point me to a study/report/data that can
show me (or more importantly, others here at work) just how the limits were
derived? No one seems to be able to.

John,

the consideration of penalties is a form of consequentialist ethics that
focuses on "us". A higher form (in my opinion) is to focus on the
consequences to "the other." In this case, the other is society. As you
know, the EMC limits are not arbitrary; they are based on the interference
potential to EM communications. So one can consider that shipping a product
that exceeds the EMC limits could potentially harm society.

One can take this one step further and consider that a product that is
under the EMC limits can still potentially harm society, but that it is not
as harmful as a product that exceeds the EMC limits. In this case we can
site rule based ethics by proclaiming that we meet the EMC rules and
therefore we have done all that we are required to do. These two
conflicting ethical positions could make for a long and interesting
discussion.

Subject: Request for info on CE Mark penalties



Hello everyone,


Does anyone have any good articles or website examples of the penalties for
non- conformance for the CE Mark. I especially need examples for EMC
violations to use to stress the seriousness  and impact to business for
some non regulatory people here who need some convincing.


Thanks in advance for your help
