Steve, as you are aware, the standard 50371 is a generic EMF standard which covers equipment not covered by a product or product-family standard (whose power does not exceed 20 mW). The product standards that I am aware of cover EAS, RFID, household appliances, mobile phones, wireless networks, basestation transmitters, and AC transmission lines. Equipment that may fall into the low-power standard could be localized TV transmitters or wireless microphones.
The standard is not clear but I believe it applies to both intentional and non-intentional radiators. There is a "companion" generic standard, EN 62311:2008, that covers equipment not covered by 50371 (i.e., equipment greater than 20 mW) and it clearly states on page 5, "This standard is intended to cover both intentional and non-intentional radiators". EN 50373:2004 will be replaced by EN 62479 whose FDIS is expected to be issued this fall. EN 62311:2008 has replaced EN 50392:2004.

Is this intended for all devices or only those with an intentional radiator? This is a harmonized standard for the LV Directive as well as the R&TTE Directive. I’ve got my opinion regarding the applicability of this standard but I would appreciate input from others.
