Prior to the EMC Directive, Germany required Class A ITE to be licensed. Article 6 of the EMC Directive gives the right to a country to control EMC compatibility by limiting the use of equipment at various sites. This appears to allow countries to limit the use of Class A equipment. Of course, the

Eric Lifesey nicely summarized the requirements of IEC (also EN) 61326 in his e-mail copied below. I would like to add however that harmonics are indeed covered in the emission section of the standard. The emission limits as listed in Table 4 for Class B (non-industrial locations) include

Doug - Firstly, I do not think that the EN has been listed in the Official Journal (OJ) and so cannot be used (yet) to show compliance with the EU EMC Directive. As far as test plans go, they are required by the IEC 801 and EN61000 series of immunity specs (look in the Test Procedure

Thanks to Doug Frazee for pointing out that AC Harmonics and Flicker ARE in IEC 61326-1 (contrary to my previous comment), but only as a requirement for Class B emissions. These tests are tucked into the emission limits table (Table 4 on page 29) and buried between the typical emission limit

Moshe, We currently test all of our new products to EN 61326-1 Class B. The radiated emission limits, as well as line conducted limits, are the same for Class B equipment as defined in EN 55011. The DOW is July 1, 2001. If you plan to be selling your product past July 1, 2001, it may be best
