I recommend that you get copies of BS 1362 and all parts of BS 1363 from BSI. You may also want to get a copy of EN 60799.

Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Chris. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
