That's my point - I'm aware of the requirement to be compliant with these standards, but I'm giving direction to others less knowledgeable and I need to refer to them to the text that states the requirement unambiguously. If these words are not in the product standards or in the directive, where are they? Best Regards, Dave Coleman “Usually I try to take it one day at a time, but lately several have attacked me at once...”

The 'product family' is 'anything connected to the public low-voltage electricity supply'. The EMC Directive does not call up any standards. Complying with standards is one way of complying with the Directive. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
