As a US citizen my premise on any government involvement is to make it as impossible or as hard for them to regulate anything as can be. This includes EMC, immunity or any other thing. Too many fall under the idea that personal safety outweighs personal freedom. That may work in a socialist type environment, but not in here.

When Wall Street analysts expect public companies to show higher profits quarter after quarter, lowering the cost becomes the key driver. However most US companies ship their products overseas, and almost all of these countries have some form of immunity requirements, similar to the EU regulations. Hence one can assume that the products built in US are designed to meet these requirements. The sad thing is that in until the eighties US was leading the world on EMC requirements, but now has fallen behind. My personal view.

A business isn't likely to simply add either NRE cost or cost per unit without justification - poor product performance, competitive advantage, regulation. Poor performance isn't even a clean definition - if I have one failure out of 10,000 because of ESD for example - just ship them another one etc. My personal opinion is that proper operation in the field is as important as any other functional specification but whether it's done through self-enforcement or governmental regulation is a thorny question. -----Original Message----- From: John Woodgate [ <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 14, 2015 11:38 PM To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] RF Common Mode Immunity Test Question In message < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]>, dated Mon, 14 Sep 2015, Ed Price < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> writes: >True, the FCC is essentially still following the Communications Act of >1934 in its scope.

It is interesting that the US (ANSI) participates fully in the IEC committees on immunity, having four experts on each and holding the Convenership of one.
