Gary, Your recollection is correct, Telecom centres were indeed Class B in Europe. It took us several years in the ETSI EE4 committee to get it changed to class A and even then it was by the somewhat devious means of removing emission limits from EN300 386 and instead referencing directly to EN55022. There are probably a few emc-pstc folk who remember the struggle. Mike

Same question haunts me – I have a vague recollection that for some odd reason European telecommunications centers were Class B but I can’t find the reference. Maybe the distinction is “telecommunication centers ONLY” So I’m also interested in the answer if some one has it.

But, before just assuming that Class A is ok for telecom centers, I'd check with the telecom company to be sure that they don't have a requirement for Class B (I have this gut feel that I've run into that but I can't remember any specifics).

EMC radio equipment standard EN 301 489-1 calls out EN 55022 Class B limits in general, and Class A limits for "...equipment intended for use in telecommunication centres only,..." What is considered a "telecommunication centre?" Unfortunately I can not find any definition for this term in the standard, or in any other standards I have consulted. mc-pstc - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
