Point of sale terminals and personal computers are both individually listed
as examples of equipment covered by IEC 60950.  I think this gives you
adequate cause to treat it as class A.

Marvin, your product description is confusing to me. On one hand, you
describe it as an "industrial PC" which would imply that it is not intended
to be used on a public power network, so the standard would not apply. On
the other hand, you indicate the end product is similar to point-of-sale
terminals which are connected to the public power network; so the standard
would apply and the product would, failing a better description, be
considered a PC and subject to Class D limits.

        Looking for some opinions.

        We have a product which is comprised of an industrial PC into which
we
        placed communications cards.  This is not unlike many of the sales
terminals
        which basically are PCs slightly modified and dedicated to a
particular use.

        Question, is this a Class A product or Class D, according to the
definitions
        given in A14?
