For reference, the FCC classifies products into consumer (Class B) and non-consumer (Class A) categories. In Europe the manufacturer has a similar responsibility to make a product that meets the EMC requirements appropriate for the intended use of the product. For some products it is more or less up to the end user to determine if a Class A or Class B compliant product is appropriate. You will find the Class A warning statement in the EN 55032 standard, Clause 7. Class A equipment shall have the following warning in the instructions for use, to inform the user of the risk of operating this equipment in a residential environment: W arning: This equipment is compliant with Class A of CISPR 32. In a residential environment this equipment may cause radio interference. Bill Stumpf - Lab / Technical Manager D.L.S. Electronic Systems, Inc. 166 South Carter Street Genoa City WI 53128 Ph: 262-279-0210 From: McBurney, Ian [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2015 2:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] EN55032 definition of residential environment Dear colleagues In the 2015 edition of EN 55032 an interesting statement in clause 4. "Equipment intended primarily for use in a residential environment shall meet the class B limits. All other equipment shall comply with the Class A limits." I am unable to locate a definition for residential environment in the standard. Does anyone know of an official definition? Would sports stadia, theatres, hospitals, commercial industrial estates located in residential housing be included in residential environments? If the product is Class A, is the warning notice still required? “Warning. This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.” This used to be a requirement in EN 55022.
