Ed, Richard, and everyone
Following discussions in the SLIM working group, the Commission has now
produced a draft of the revised EMC Directive. This is a complete rewrite,
not an amendment. The major change is removal of the requirement for fixed
installations to be assessed and CE marked prior to taking into service, but
the possibility for investigation by enforcement authorities, should
interference be caused, remains. The distinction between "systems" which
continue to require CE marking, and "fixed installations" is unclear at
present.
It is expected that the draft will undergo further development and changes
at SLIM working group meetings during this year before a draft is published
for comment.
I will be presenting a paper in one of the poster sessions at the EMC
Symposium in Washington DC, on the latest position.
Best wishes
