RE: EMC for IR remotes
Would that fall under EN55013 instead of EN55022? Or will it be explicitly part of EN55032? -Doug From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Bill Owsley Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 7:05 PM To: PSNet; steve.leit...@comcast.net Subject: Re: EMC for IR remotes ummm, generally, I think previous posts indicate that the device only has to meet the directive, which is declared in a DoC. How the manufacturer satisfies to himself that indeed the device does comply,is quite variable, but a common set of tests are generally chosen.
