No, that is not true. You do not need to involve a Notified or Competent Body at all if you apply the relevant standards. > >Do really the manufacturer can claim that the standard can be used only >partially ? It depends on what you mean by 'partially'. If it means that the standard is not applied in full because some characteristics of the product do not meet the requirements of the standard, than a Notified body needs to be involved. But if the product, by its design, OBVIOUSLY meets all the requirements of a standard, the manufacturer can freely claim that it conforms to the standard. >Where it is written ? You can download the Directive and the Guidelines from the EU web site, at this long URL: http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/newapproach/standardization/harmstds /reflist/emc.html I couldn't find that they are available in Polish yet, but you could e-mail Thierry Bréfort and ask. You cannot hope to understand the subject of EMC if you do not have your own copies of these documents to look at whenever you want. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
