Hi Gert Thanks for that interesting comparison.
I looked at EN 55022:2006 earlier. It was €76 with Luxembourg and €24 and at standards.ie, according to their websites and assuming that I am comparing like for like. This also appears to be a large difference. Looks like one should shop around?

I am located in California. Those produced by CENELEC and CEN are obtainable from the national standards bodies of the member states. The prices vary greatly, and one of the lowest price sources is Danish Standards, at http://www.en.ds.dk/ This is an English language version of the web site and most ENs are published in English as well as Danish. ENs produced by ETSI are free to download from the ETSI web site. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
