Hi everyone The European Commission has just accepted that the EMC Directive is to be one of the pieces of legislation to be reviewed under the SLIM (Simpler Legislation for the Internal Market) initiative during 1998.
The UK had proposed a review of the directive during the last two phases of SLIM, but had not receievd sufficient support. This year there was support from Austria, Denmark, France and Germany. The review will take place during the next six months with a report expected at the end of the year. I do NOT expect to see major changes (such as removal of immunity) and it is possible that there will be no changes recommended at all. I hope to be able to report a little more fully in the near future. Best wishes Brian Jones Independent EMC Consultant, England Telephone & Fax +44 1564 773319
