Ready-made connecting devices
Under the proposal for the new EMC Directive, it is my understanding that "ready-made connecting devices" (not sold with the equipment) will require CE marking. Has there been any thought, proposal, procedure, etc. as to how they are to be tested for compliance and to what standard? For the most part I would assume these to be separately sold data/communication cables.

Not likely to be *required*: it is very unpopular, except with Notified Bodies, of course. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.

"Ready Made Connecting Devices"
What are the chances of "ready made connecting devices" remaining in the EMCD 2000 as defined (i.e., cables et al)? If testing (CE marking) is required, are there existing standards/test methods that will cover these "devices"? Or will the TCF route be required?
