In Europe, the position is, or ought to be, fairly clear. If these are custom racks, with products put in as the **customer** requires, and the individual products and racking are billed itemized (to prove the custom aspect), then the individual product DoCs and EMC assessment are valid for EMC, but you would be wise to look at temperature effects for safety. If the racks are batch or stream produced, not custom (although you could make, say, ten identical custom racks *for one customer, to his specification*, without that being a 'batch'), and are billed as a single item, then for EMC and safety they must be tested as a single item of commerce, even if the individual products have DoCs and assessments. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
