Hi John,
They are not exempt. The EMC directive in the EC is valid, for each and every single device put on the market, or put into service. General public has nothing to do with that. The boards you mention are supposed to comply with the requirements. and probably are. Someone else will possible explain the US position. BTW: telling a bit more about your engagement with EMC would give you better answers. Regards, Ing.

These boards are usually not encased in a metal box, and are meant to be used "naked" on a workbench with often many, many cables attached to them. I would like to know the EMC requirements for, let's say the US and Europe (FCC and CE), on this type of equipment not intended for sale to the general public. If these "products" (they are sold, not given away) are exempt, what is the method to get through customs without any EMC labeling on the device or packaging? Thanks for your comments and ideas.
