HI Horst Haug and Patty Elliot Looking true previous EMC mail I'll noticed your replay's: Horst Haug wrote: > ... I like the idea to control the market ...Patty Elliot wrote: > ... the authorities have the right to verify the conformance ...
In view of your replay's, I have a simple question: In what priority order are the products checked? As you all know for the moment (in Belgium, and be sure in your country it exists to) a lot of political, commercial practices and other special " PROTECTIONs " are discovered and examined by several commissions. Those protections are ranging from corrupts to gentle influences... So again "In what priority order are the products checked?" and are those checked in an unbiased priority order? I know, good products don't have in theory not to worry about it, but are they all good or just are some ignored? Sorry Horst Haug and Patty Elliot but I disagree with your statements. I don't own black money to have " favors " when my product is not that good, do you? On the other side, who will pay for all those overdone and unrequired controls? You and me, don't forget it. Do you not trust the honesty of your competitors? No, read back above considerations and find out if you solve them with your remarks. To my opinion, only complains due to bad influences on (interference) or influences from (immunity) other products have to be taken in consideration for control of conformity to the rules. Isn't that in fact the basic and general purpose of the EMC rules: - Protection against pollution and - Assurance of reliable operation in that polluted world?

European authorities have the right to take off-the-shelf products and examine them for compliance to the directives. The Declaration of Conformity that is shipped with your equipment is a legal document that states your product complies with the directive(s), and the authorities have the right to verify the conformance.
