I am not shure if that is also true for the whole european area but ...
Have a look at the DIN EN 60960 that is now included (since april 8th
2001) for all elektronics equipment even if they are battery powered
(before april 8th, it was depending on the source voltage 48V / 75V
(AC/DC) ). It ist a MUST HAVE ! even if your product has already the CE
marking and passed the tests before April 8th 2001 ! Now it is included
and the CE marking on the device type sign has a new format, so that you
can see with only one look at it, if you fullfill the new CE testings
requirements. (Here in Germany it ist not allowed to sell a product
without the new CE marking, even if you have the old CE marking).
To get the CE marking they look at the layouts and measure the distances
between the traces. also have a look at the corresponding ETSI
specification you will need for europe. we always include all data about
the layout in the TCF (technical construction file) that is part of the
CE approval, where we also specify the PCB type (FR4, RP300x for
example) the type of solder stop .... because all this is taken into
acount if we have the correct "gap" between the traces. also be aware of
that there ist a change going on to be save for source voltage up to
275V (in 240V power lines). Murata is changing the specification for the
X2 and Y2 Caps from 250 to 275V.
Regards.
