I read in !emc-pstc that Helge Knudsen  wrote (in

I know that. I don't know why the CENELEC BT ever agreed to forward it
to the Commission. but I can guess, and the key word begins with 'P' and
ends with 'olitics'.

Anyone who relies on it as a safety standard had better get insurance
against 'unlawful killing' charges under EU health and safety
legislation, which does not take 'standards' into account.

My advice stands; if at all possible have NOTHING to do with EN50178.
