For Europe, is it OK to relax or disregard how ‘something’ behaves under EMC immunity testing if the affected function is not the primary function of the equipment? Say, like the digital clock on my stereo system. First and foremost it’s an audio system which, in standby, displays the time of day. Does it matter what happens to the clock so long as the audio functions continue properly? Likewise, would it matter if the media player freezes and applications crash, necessitating removal of the battery, during ESD testing on my mobile phone so long as the phone function (the main function) continues to work? Or, if under radiated immunity test the Bluetooth hands-free function is completely obliterated so long as the GPS receiver and navigation continues to function on my in-car Sat-Nav system? Is there a general policy? Thanks in anticipation for your advice. Tony -
