I read in !emc-pstc that am...@westin-emission.no wrote (in LFENJLPMMJB
mhpeibnilaepjcbaa.am...@westin-emission.no) about 'SV: Selection of
Directives', on Sat, 5 Jan 2002:
I wish I had seen this magical matrix, but unfortunately I have not. I 
assume that a matrix like this would be very complex and comprehensive.

No, a matrix is perhaps the best way of handling the subject
 
Example: An ITE would have to qualify for EMCD and maybe RTTE,

RTTE only in respect of any relevant interface.

 maybe also 
LVD if the voltages are within the scope 

Yes. Quite normal.

and if it is placed in an explosive 
area then the ATEX directive might also apply. 

Well, it would apply.

A lot of maybe's and if's 

No, the matter seems quite clear. What uncertainty do you have in mind?

... 
I think we have to gain knowledge about a lot of the directives in order 
 to 
know if a product falls within it. A matrix can not include that type of 
experience I think. 

Header and one line of a matrix:

  ITEYESYESModem interfaceOnly if intended for
   Bluetooth  explosive atmosphere  
 
 
I'm looking forward to hear other inputs from the list members.

Dear All
A page on our website www.cherryclough.com has a useful list of EU directives 
relating to electronic products (and not just the CE marking ones) and the 
URLs where they and lists of their relevant standards can be downloaded from. 
Not every possible directive is covered, but I think most of the relevant 
ones are.

As for a directives matrix - what a wonderful idea, but I've never seen one 
and don't expect to - it would be just too complicated.

 Hi all,
 Me again…..
  
 My primary focus over the last few years has been limited to ITE and 
 2.4GHz SS radio products.  My contact lists and web page book marks are 
 filled with the necessary links to information regarding these types of 
 products and I am very comfortable with obtaining compliance with the 
 required Directives that apply.I am now exposed to many types of 
 products destined for the EU and want to make sure to apply the proper 
 directives and standards.  
  
 Where is the magical matrix that one can pick his directive and test suite 
 from for a given type of product?
  
  
  
 Kind Regards,
