Well not really John - ANSI has no regulatory authority but money does. A business isn't likely to simply add either NRE cost or cost per unit without justification - poor product performance, competitive advantage, regulation. Poor performance isn't even a clean definition - if I have one failure out of 10,000 because of ESD for example - just ship them another one etc.
My personal opinion is that proper operation in the field is as important as any other functional specification but whether it's done through self-enforcement or governmental regulation is a thorny question. -----Original Message----- From: John Woodgate [mailto:j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk] Sent: Monday, September 14, 2015 11:38 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] RF Common Mode Immunity Test Question In message <009601d0ef5d$3dc51eb0$b94f5c10$@cox.net>, dated Mon, 14 Sep 2015, Ed Price <edpr...@cox.net> writes: >True, the FCC is essentially still following the Communications Act of >1934 in its scope.

It is interesting that the US (ANSI) participates fully in the IEC committees on immunity, having four experts on each and holding the Convenership of one. Immunity is for other people, right?just -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
