Perhaps my reply was poorly written - although I did test it on a clerk's dog - and he wagged in a favorable manner.
My reply was similar to yours, in that some of the stuff extruded from environmental requirements seem to be confusing, incomplete, and sometimes contradictory of other regulatory requirements. Or do I still not understand the point ? Referencing the IM for equipment intended for domestic use, the EMC limits that the device uses are the deciding factor. Regardless of an ITE definition, the emissions limits are the deciding factor. I noticed that Mr Woodgate used the word "sensible". I would like to hear more of this 'sensible' after we had a pint or two. Care to meet at Cookes Thatch in Galway next year (Thursday nites are best) ?
