But can we afford to wait 3000 years? In Britain, we have the Wireless Telegraphy Act, which, among other things, concerns EMC of products in service as opposed to newly manufactured. The antediluvian title is due to the lawyers not yet having had enough time to define new things like wireless telephony, radio, television, cellular radio and such like.

There is also the issue, which I know has surfaced in at least one safety standards committee, that people simply won't bother to download a manual, get into possibly dangerous areas and then sue, on the basis that only words on paper (parchment, vellum, clay and stone tablets) are recognized in law.

I haven’t tried in a while but at the time - 10 years ago and got the same mixed results you appear to have gotten. When pressed about the only reason they could give me was concern was that not all people have access to computers etc. to read the manual even if given a disc in the shipping container nor could they even go on line to find the manual on a web site. I suppose that might still be the case and kind of a tough argument to defeat in the extreme but it doesn’t match the changing reality of interconnectedness. Especially for professionals. By the way I Just bought an expensive spectrum analyzer and everything, operation manual, compliance and safety etc. was either on disc or website. Maybe lab equipment allows electronic everything I don’t know because I don’t have the standard. If you happen to have competitive equipment you can always ask why they are being selective in their decision or claim previously accept constructions. But you are going to have to push the issue up hill. The poor sole evaluating the equipment is often blocked by the simple black and white of the issue, that doesn’t mean he has the ultimate authority on it. Reviewers and managers above them have the ability to alter decisions. Should they be able to, that’s another question.

Good Morning, Has anyone had any success in getting standards writers and/or evaluation organizations to accept an electronic version of a manual as an equivalent alternative to a paper version even when the standard refers to a paper manual? I am getting mixed signals from various individuals within organizations and wanted to pool ask the group for any insight. I would think, particularly for equipment that is installed by trained professionals and not lay people, there might be an appetite for this sort of change.
