No, a matrix is perhaps the best way of handling the subject

RTTE only in respect of any relevant interface.

Yes. Quite normal.

Well, it would apply.

No, the matter seems quite clear. What uncertainty do you have in mind?

Dear All
A page on our website www.cherryclough.com has a useful list of EU directives 
relating to electronic products (and not just the CE marking ones) and the 
URLs where they and lists of their relevant standards can be downloaded from. 
Not every possible directive is covered, but I think most of the relevant 
ones are.

As for a directives matrix - what a wonderful idea, but I've never seen one 
and don't expect to - it would be just too complicated.

Regards, Keith Armstrong
