I read in !emc-pstc that Gordon,Ian <ian.gor...@bocedwards.com> wrote (in <E1BA0362B28ED211A1E80008C71EA3060206FBEA@EXC_EAS01>) about 'NEW EMC DIRECTIVE' on Fri, 9 May 2003:
>How can the authors of the directive reconcile the concept of "benign >equipment" (which are outside the scope of the directive) with the >requirement to include, for example, a mains lead? Does this mean that if >leads are sold separately they must have a D of C? It appears so. I suppose the standards one would cite for EMC and safety are those which apply to the products the cable is intended to be used with. For general-purpose mains leads, I suppose one would cite the Generics for EMC, and they would pass by default. >I assume that a lead provided with a piece of equipment would be covered by >the D of C for that equipment. I think the DOC had better say 'the Model XYZ, including the cables supplied with it'. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
