As a different example, I know a mobile device manufacturer who
declares their products as being for Portable Use only in the context
the EN 301 489 series of EMC standards for wireless equipment. Thereby
'excusing' themselves from any mains and DC power port conducted
emissions and immunity tests. Even though these units are supplied with
a wall-wart UK or EU mains charger and can indeed be used by the end
user while plugged in and charging, for playing games or browsing the
Internet for example. An innovative way of saving a little time and money.
... and possibly losing a great deal more. The EU is just now
implementing a strong drive for increased market surveillance, with an
emphasis on EMC and safety. Some of these creative schemes will attract
very unwelcome attention from the regulatory authorities.
