You don't need to, yet another urban myth probably not exactly
discouraged by the test houses who want your money ;-)
You can self certify and providing you take "reasonable measures" during
the design and construction phase you will be fine. You will need to
maintain a product design file for each installation showing all the
steps you have taken to comply with the regulations and that is then
your "proof of compliance". Even if it turns out that your product does
break the EMC regulations as long as you have the file showing you took
"reasonable measures" you are fine as the rules allow for this. That is
also the same way you comply with the RoHS rules here in the UK so
extending our design file from the CE requirements to encompass the RoHS
requirements is not really as much of a burden as some so called experts
would have you believe ;-)
Wow! This certainly is news to me! Is there someplace I can read up on
this? How would it apply to a company that makes custom boxes, in my case
CNC axis drive systems? These are generally made a little different for
each
customer. I've only sold about 10 of them so far, so lab testing would be a
big problem.
Thanks,
Jon
