Although it can be argued that my products are Class A, we design our products to meet Class B. I have had the occassion where I was at the limit and was under pressure to release the product that I have taken Class A. Primarily we've designed for Class B as a 'specmanship' game with the competitors who mostly have Class A. Additionally I believe there's still debate in Europe that unless your product is 'heavy'industrial, it should be Class B - this reinforces my desire toward avoiding Class A entirely. I am certain the Class B will prevail. As a Boy Scout leader I believe in the scout motto 'Be Prepared'.
I believe the push to ensure Class B for other than 'heavy' industrial, results from the fact that real estate is (or is becoming) a premium in many areas in Europe and you find 'light' industrial directly in a residential environment. This is even apparent within many metropolitan areas in the U.S. John Juhasz Fiber Options Bohemia, NY ----- Original Message ----- From: <richwo...@tycoint.com> To: <emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org> Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 1:40 PM Subject: ITE Class A vs B Emissions > > We currently design our products to comply with the Class B emissions limits > of EN 55022, but I am getting a lot of pressure from engineering to allow > the limits to be raised to Class A.
