  Lars,
  
  "Value added" does not just mean an additional build-cost that
  justifies its related price-hike; it means one that does so by
  being featured to the customer.

Immunity test on standalone CD players

1997-04-08 Thread Raymond Li
According to EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, a mains-operated standalone
multi-disc CD player must comply with immunity test EN55020.  It says that
this product falls into exemption scope - no connection facility for an
external antenna and no passive requirements according to EN55020.

The exemption reasons sound strange but appear to be a general practice in
the field.  May I invite your comments/guidances on this interpretation of
the standard.

Thanks and regards,

Dear John,

This message is from Korea.  I also  understand MRA
with both countries.  I believe that MRA is limited to
only Telecomm approval not related to EMC and Safety
approval.

However, even telecomm approval, there is no detail
progress.  As one of Korea government authorized EMC lab
and agent for the Telecomm and Safety approval, I never
heard of how Canada approval would be accepted as Korea
approval even test report.

It will take time.

Regards,

Ryan Kim / President of Haitong EMC
