I found an interesting document a few days ago. This is a draft of late 1999 revisions, actually amendments, to the EMC Directive. It looks like this will supplement, not necessarily replace, the existing Directive. Since nothing looked newer, and this is several months old, maybe this is nearly a final version. FWIW, no guarantee about the veracity of this document!
I haven't read it in detail yet, but notice: 1. "failure modes of which the user would not be aware" 2. "testing all manners of use" 3. the need for an "analysis" The document is in the form of a 140K MS Word rtf. As I did last year with the 461E document, I'll return a copy of this EMC Directive Amendments draft by attachment to your email. (Email your request directly to me, not the list.)
