Informative annexes are just ‘informative’. However, they are or should be seen as a little more than ‘nice to know’ as they give good advice on methods or techniques on how to apply certain aspects of the standard.

Are they a) Actually a part of the standard with all of the weight and authority of the proceeding sections. Or b) Bits of information and examples that may be of use but are not actually part of the standard and its test requirements. e.g. Annex E (informative) of EN 55022: 1998 which talks about LCL in the design of telecoms ports. Is this just nice to know or is it something that should be measured and assessed as part of a test to EN 55022. Thanks for your thoughts.
