My attention has been drawn to a question of interpretation of Jim's original message. He wrote: I am wondering what the industry experience is regarding basing EMC or Safety product certification on individual chassis (or subsystems/components) that may comprise the product, vs. certification at the product level? In particular, I have some products that are 40U racks containing multiple chassis, each of which is compliant and has its own certification. The expression 'chassis (or subsystems/components)' is perhaps ambiguous, but the following sentence indicates to me that these 'chassis' are finished products which are individually certified compliant for EMC and safety, and my responses use that interpretation. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
