Dear Group,

Big chip makers like Texas Instruments and others sell "Eval boards" to let
developers test out a chip before deciding if they want to include it in
their design.  These boards are usually not encased in a metal box, and are
meant to be used "naked" on a workbench with often many, many cables
attached to them.

I would like to know the EMC requirements for, let's say the US and Europe
(FCC and CE), on this type of equipment not intended for sale to the
general public.

If these "products" (they are sold, not given away) are exempt, what is the
method to get through customs without any EMC labeling on the device or
packaging?

Thanks for your comments and ideas.

John
