A VERY long time ago the Irish National Standards Committee asked CENELEC formally whether a washing machine containing a microprocessor was ITE or not. The answer was that 'function determines the standards that apply'. Washing machines have to conform to the standards for washing machines. This ruling applies to EMC and safety: it may have been overlooked when other Directives were drafted. For your product, the 'function' is not to process information but to control access to premises. -- This is my travelling signature, adding no superfluous mass.
