Scott, EMC radiated emission requirement that any telecommunication equipment if not located in a "telecommunication centre" must meet class B limits will hurt telecommunication equipment manufacturers. It will be the cost of ignorance to participate on standards developing body. Customers will ultimately pay for something they not need. It is much more effective to participate in developing new standard, than to modify adopted and published one.
In 1991 I helped to block the same proposal on ETSI EE4 by lobbying larger manufacturers participation from different ETSI members at the specific meeting in Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France. There were enough votes to reject proposal. Although delegates on EE4 formally represent 1/3 manufacturers, 1/3 users and 1/3 government/enforcement agencies, average meeting attendance by manufacturers was less than 10 percent. Mirko Matejic
