For Europe, you read the listing of standards 'notified' in the Official Journal under the EMC Directive, Then, if it isn't obvious from the titles of the standards, you look at the Scope clauses of these standards, which you can see for free on the IEC web site, if the notified standard is an EN based on an IEC standard, to see if they apply to your product. >Yes, the standard states that it applies to any piece of equipment that >draws <= 16 Amps of mains power. This leads me to believe that without >reading every standard published, you don't know which ones to apply. >It seems that there is a larger view of the picture that is missing. >Does anyone have a link to this picture? See above. > >Do you know which EU regulation requires that power supplies over 50W >need to be power factor corrected? There ISN'T one!
