The answer to this lies in the marketing information for the product. The target End-Use-Environment drives the choice of standards. If this equipment is being sold to residential users exclusively then it would not be scientific equipment. This would rule out EN 61326 and the choice would then be between the EN 61000-6 set or the EN55014's for household apparatus, for example. The other possible option is to use the TCF route and define specific criteria for the telescope based on night-time, outdoor use model of compliance. This may also have some merit if the manufacturer intends to produce small runs with multiple options. Regards,

Not usually found in Walmart, Currys etc. but they may find their way into richer family homes. These chaps are great for observing Mars at the moment! We are trying to decide which EMC product standard may apply for EMC. Would anyone care to share their opinions? Thanks, Derek N.
