Hi Group, If I have a product, a finished apparatus, that passes all LVD or safety tests, i.e. earth leakage, insulation, etc., is that product "unsafe" if it is 10db over the conducted emissions limits for EMC?
Article 4 and Annex III of the EMC directive do not refer to safety, only to the concept that equipment will not hinder the use of other equipment and immunity. Where does this 80/80 rule now fit in that was discussed recently - specifically if authorities acknowledge the fact that there may be equipment out there that exceeds the EMC emissions limits for their product type? Also in Annex III, it states: "The information required to enable use in accordance with the intended purpose of the apparatus must be contained in the instructions accompanying the apparatus." Does this then imply that the manual must state that suitable measures must be taken to ensure compliance? e.g. additional filter?
