Okay Dave, that matches my expectations, and certainly your credentials put you right at the source of the requirements and will help me to put this to rest around here.
Judging buy the rapid response from a few folks this is a topic that has real interest. Like anything rumors come and go. Now that this is contained I’m going to start checking out that Lock Ness thing :-) Thank you very much. I truly appreciate your time in responding.

It is all about whether your intended use includes connection to public low voltage supply mains or is limited to only PRIVATE (aka hospital) low voltage supply mains. Equipment intended for home use, doctor's office etc must be intended for connection to public low voltage supply mains and hence must be Class B.

Our equipment must meet class B because of internal requirements so I’ve never really tracked the requirement via standard callout. Can someone direct me to the EU requirement that it must all be Class B? If it is actually a requirement what is the justification?
