Delayed by the heavy snow, no doubt. I think the position of a test house is different from that of a manufacturer. Normally a test house is asked to test to the standards, and should do just that. But a manufacturer can indeed go further, *voluntarily*, and either conduct extended tests himself or ask a test house explicitly to do that. Under the old EMC Directive in Europe, some testing bodies could more or less insist on doing extended testing, but they can't now insist. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
