Thanks for the info Mike. The A and B lists appear to include primarily components and household or small office appliances. I didn't see any large scale office or commercial equipment. Do you know if there simply are not requirements for those or could they be under the scope of different requirements/law? I'm assuming that the inclusion of components defined in the A/B lists in a larger product doesn't by itself mean the larger product is in scope.
