Maybe it would help if you looked at 6.5.2 of the Guidelines to the former EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. A custom assembly of individually compliant finished products is an 'installation'. While this text does not appear (shame!) in the Guidelines to the current Directive, there is nothing inconsistent there. Fixed installations are required to meet the Essential Requirements. There is nothing there that says that racks have to be treated differently from any other physical arrangement of the compliant products. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
