The EMC Directive doesn't apply to collections of equipment set up by a 
private individual. Any interference that results is controlled, in 
Europe,  by the vestiges of national legislation that preceded the 
implementation of the Directive, or new legislation with the same 
effect.

He doesn't have to, only with the real or simulated peripherals 
described in the relevant EMC standards.
