No, it is actually quite clear in Europe. An MP3 player is consumer entertainment equipment, so EN 60065, EN 55013 and EN 55020 apply. The principle is 'function determines which standards apply'. This was originally established in connection with a washing machine containing a microprocessor - it's a household appliance, not IT. > >Stating it as a multimedia equipment would imply it to 60950.

It's not a question of industry opinion, but the official IEC and CENELEC statements on the matter. See IEC Guide 114, for example. > -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
