As you know from the Column, my concern is that the scope is drawn far too loosely, such that almost anything might be held to be within it. The IEC standard IEC 62233, on the other hand, has an exclusion list, and my proposal to BSI is to ask CENELEC to adopt that exclusion list as an 'Interpretation' of EN 50366, which would come into effect immediately on publication. I hope to discuss this next week at the BSI committee. There is a Generic Standard for EMF (IEC 62311) at a late stage of development, but we are waiting to see the effect on the latest text of the many changes that were proposed by national committees. There is an article in this week's New Scientist about a clash between the Physical Agents Directive and the environment of MRI scanners, which I will e-mail to you.
