Hi Ken: I found something interesting today. While measuring leakage current with a digital multimeter, I noticed a high amount of leakage. The unit incorporates a switching power supply, with some EMI/EMC circuitry. Anyhow, I read somewhere that DMMs are some times inaccurate

You need to add a network in series with any meter that isn't specifically a leakage current meter. This human body network model is typically a 1500 ohm resistor in parallel with a 0.15uF cap. Obviously without it you get a very much higher reading than with it. If you did have that

I don't know any French but if it is the French implimentation of the Machinery directive it would not cotain any EN numbers. The Machinery directive is a New Approach directive and they never specify particular standards. It specifies routes to compliance that refer to harmonised standards.
