Hello group,
I am in the process of defining a test plan for a product that fits nicely
into the definition of ITE as stated in
3.1 of EN55022:1998 and therefore into EN55024:1998 as well. My issue is
that although it is obviously ITE
(Industrial network communication hardware) it is also designed for use in
industrial environments not
residential. As hard as I try to justify designing the test plan around
EN61000-6-2 or even EN61326 I still
keep getting pulled back to the definition of ITE and therefore feel that
legally I must test to EN55022 and
EN55024.
I am seeing this as somewhat of a flaw in the system as I feel my product
should be evaluated to an
"Industrial" set of immunity tests. Does anyone have any pointers on how I
can test the product within the
word of the law while still being able to sleep at night? Must I try to
squeeze more out of the budget in
order to test to the legally required standards and then test again to the
ones that make sense?
I seem to remember a recent thread on this but of course I did not archive
it...
Seeking words of enlightenment and thanking in advance.
