Yes, in an ideal world, but the 'world according to Brussels' is not 
ideal. Political reality is that Directives often precede the standards 
infra-structure necessary to implement them.

That's roughly how the more bureaucratic areas of EC legislation work! 
The law is disdained and ridiculed, but mostly it's observed enough not 
to show.

Audio-frequency induction-loop systems, for assisted hearing and other 
purposes. While the useful field strength is very low (0.4 uT or so), in 
some applications people can get very close to the loop conductor, where 
the field may be 1000 times stronger. The object of the standard is to 
specify how to provide evidence that these systems, if correctly 
designed and operated, do not violate the ICNIRP or OSHA 
recommendations.
