Hi Bob I don't know what's applicable to these products personally but the official answer is to go through the EMCD OJ listing for harmonized stds http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/european-standards/harmonised-standards/electromagnetic-compatibility/index_en.htm and decide based upon the applicable scope of each listed std. You may end up with a set of requirements rather than just one. If nothing is applicable use a generic std EN 61000-6- whatever.
MiLStd 461 is not a harmonized std. best John From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 24 August 2012 12:48 To: John Woodgate Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] "Smart" Batteries But what standards apply in order "to carry a CE mark in its own right for EMC"? >From what I understand, a smart battery is tested to the EMC standard that >covers the equipment that it is installed in.

OK, all that means is that in Europe it has to carry a CE mark in its own right for EMC as well as for any other applicable Directives. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
