Hi All! What is the current mandatory amendment level for IEC / EN 60335-2-76. I am under the impression that France were "fast-tracking" the addition of Amendment A11 which has restriction on the output energy level of an energiser ? Thanks! George - --

Since the FCC range of frequencies is limited to 9 kHz-275 GHz, there is lots of frequencies outside of that. There are a number of military bands within that range also. The table mentioned is coordinated internationally to reduce interference. 2.102 Assignment of frequencies. top (a) Exce

It is my understanding that if the intentional radiator uses the frequencies controlled by the FCC under part 15 then it will need to be certified, regardless of who uses it. If it uses only military frequencies or frequencies not controlled by the FCC then the FCC has no say as that would fall un
