For performance, relevant parts and sections of EN 55016. I suppose the EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and -4 and/or EN 61326 applies, but there would presumably be 'common sense' applied, not to register as violations those characteristics which are parts of the intended performance of the devices. If you wanted to be ultra-cautious, the 'Technical File' approach might be advisable. In other words, under the current Directive you self-certify, but on the basis of a **comprehensive** third-party report from a Notified Body. For safety, EN 61010-1 applies, I suppose. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
