John at all, I am just about to write a follow-up/comment as a new e-mail pops-up with new info, so I'll try to type faster.
My problem is how do I go about convincing my VP's (and at least not hurting my own future at the company) what our WLAN home routers, USB adapters, modems, gateways, switches, with or without external power supply comply with 1275/2008. We have multiple requests from our EU buyers to sign declarations of compliance with EuP in general and 1275/2008 in part. I have being doing compliance for 15 years and this one is the toughest one so far (especially I am not really suppose to do it, but nobody else will). I understand from EICTA document what our equipment is not required to have standby mode. I was not really familiar with EICTA before, so I just looked it up on he web. On the surface looks like powerful organization/lobby. In the past, did anyone succeed to make their case based on EICTA guidelines, which held water, let's say as a replay to an audit, on any subject?
