Hi   I believe that there are ETSI standards with limits certainly in the acoustic band.  Also GR1089 has low frequency limits.Your regular mains filter has some effect at frequencies below 150 kHz, perhaps you could get enough effect to give you enough of reduction.   John Cronin >From: Christi

Munitions of war are excluded from at least the EMC Directive.  This is under the conditions of the treaty of Rome which established the European Union or was it EEC? In any event the EMC Directive does not apply to munitions of war, unless it has a dual military/non military application.  I woul

The RTTE Directive would apply if the equipment intentionally transmits or receives using the rf spectrum or if the equipment connects to the telephone network. The Machinery Directive would apply if moving parts present higher risks than electrical hazards (see the directive for the details). Ri

Peter, both CENELEC and IEC are developing pacemaker EMC standards. The only published document is EN 50061/A1 which has not been published in the OJ. That standard will be replaced by EN45502-X. EN45502-1 is published but does not contain limits. Richard Woods -- From:

Marque It is safest to treat this as a medical device and use the EN 60601 range of standards. Outside of medical devices the nearest standard is EN 60335-2-23 - Appliances for skin or hair care but this does not specifically deal with this type of device and so may not cover all risks associate
