Peter In that case you need to look at the SEMI standards. These are industry standards which are NOT legally enforced but do have similar scopes to the European machinery directive, EMC directive and low voltage directive. Basically if the EUT is CE marked then there is a good chance it will be accepted by SEMI however there are some tests over and above those in the directives especially voltage dips - you need to study the standards. The SEMI standards are primarily concerned with safety. The Koreans have their own version called the "S" mark - but this is broadly the same as the SEMI requirements. NOTE this is not the same as the Korean S mark for domestic equipment Look at the following links for further information:
