RE: Harmonics/Flicker Compliance
We just went through the same thing a few months back. The confusion comes from a clause near the end of 61326 which appears to exempt you from any responsibility on harmonics and flicker if your product is non-domestic. I know a number of EMC professionals who take that as the last word on the subject. However, I am advised by most others that the harmonic and flicker standards stand on their own, regardless of what 61326 says. And yes, they become mandatory (according to their DOW) on January 1, 2001. The recent wrinkle on all this is that A14 to EN61000-3-2 will allow most instrumentation (other than personal computers and TVs) to comply, as of January 1, 2001, with harmonic standards under Class A rather than the more stringent Class D. Hope this helps (and hope that I said all of that right).

RE: Harmonics/Flicker Compliance
John, We have bounced this subject around ad nauseam (to the point of sickness for those not into latin). As I understand it, the long and short of it is: The writers of EN 61326-1 separated equipment into two classes. Class A and Class B. They intended to exclude Class A equipment from the Harmonics and Flicker requirements. Problem is: according to how standards are ranked. EN 61326-1 doesn't have the authority to exclude equipment from EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3. There are arguments that could last a lifetime regarding which of the two standards should take precedence. Actually, the path that I have taken is to assume that the Harmonic and Flicker standards apply and then look at the application of EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3 themselves. Under EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3 equipment must be put into different classes depending upon how much power it draws and whether or not the equipment is professional equipment. By looking at these classifications, you can make an educated decision regarding whether the standards apply or not. If you want to draw your own conclusions, check out the online standards update Conformity-Update put out by Curtis-Straus. There were some articles in the August and September 2000 updates that cover a great deal of this ground.

RE: FCC Part 15 Class B
While it is true that all personal computers destined for the home user must be Class B and therefore, Certified, it is not true that any device that meets Class B limits must, as a consequence, also be Certified. Thus, if the device falls into the product category under FCC Verification (professional and other equipment not destined for the home user and not available for general distribution in retail stores) such devices (as FCC is wont to call them!) can be verified as meeting Class B limits. We have seen in the past Intel and IBM high-end industrial PCs that have been verified as meeting Class B limits, at a time when you still had to mention the Class in the mandatory verification markings on the product. However, you never saw these PCs available in your local computer/electronic store. Those of us in the industry that use such PCs are very pleased that they meet Class B limits even if legally (per FCC) they don't have to. Thus, such PCs could still be marked as verified to Class A limits; however, if they meet Class B, why not state so. If you've got it, flaunt it!

See 15.101. Class B personal computers and peripherals may use either the Certification or Declaration of Conformity equipment authorization procedure. Other class B digital devices and peripherals are subject to the Verification equipment authorization procedure. Be careful as Verification is not the same as Declaration of Conformity with different labeling requirements, test site accreditation requirements, etc. See 47 CFR Part 2 for detailed descriptions of the equipment authorization procedures.

Re: FCC Part 15 Class B
Yes, class B ITE can be self-verified. However, if the ITE is a personal computer or personal computer peripheral, then the Declaration of Conformity procedure must be followed.

Re: Testing as a system for harmonics?
I'll guess it's this way: If your equipment requires a computer system to work, and you sell that system, then you're responsible for compliance of what you sell, even if you didn't make it. But I haven't seen power supply emissions tested with everything plugged into one outlet. Seems to me, separately powered devices must be separately tested for harmonics and conducted emissions.
