Neil I can't answer your question directly, but..........the EMC rules have provisions which allow exclusion of items which draw more than 1kW and or are not for consumer applications. Your power supplies may fall inside these exclusions and therefore may not need EMC evaluation. We have a linear PS in the same situation.
I understand in principal one may make a declaration that the EMC does not apply though this has not been followed through. The LVD would still apply. The aim of the EMC Directive is to control pollution of the public supply from multiple low power non-pfc loads such as TV, home computer terminals etc. They can't and don't want to control smaller quantities of commercial loads. Of course you may find that no EMC test house will know about the limitations on EMC application, because it would do them out of a job.........nevertheless I am speaking the truth as I know it but cannot quote you chapter and verse. You might find the website of John Woodgate helpful www.jmwa.demon.co.uk he is knowledgable about audio applications.
