If you have a product level (type) standard that applies to your device, look there. Oherwise, you need to apply the generic EMC standard, under which you are required to meet the requirements of 61000-3-2. Example; You have a laboratory device, which, according to the OJ, means you need to apply EN 61326-1. Within EN61326-1 you'll find that Class B products are required to meet 61000-3-2, whereas Class A devices do not. Hope that helps, Regards, Andy Garcia Staff Product Compliance Engineer Beckman Coulter, Inc.

Yes, the standard states that it applies to any piece of equipment that draws <= 16 Amps of mains power. This leads me to believe that without reading every standard published, you don't know which ones to apply. It seems that there is a larger view of the picture that is missing. Does anyone have a link to this picture? Do you know which EU regulation requires that power supplies over 50W need to be power factor corrected?
