reasonably controlled stop or if it was a wild ride.

There is a new cispr for multimedia / office /receiver standard in development.
In addition to the 14 or generic you could
justify using parts of this standard.
It's reference is CISPR 32.
It will take at least 3-5 years before this will be
harmonized as EN 55032.

Hello Derek,
EN 55014 is indeed orientated to household products. However, it is also
the most appropriate standard for arcade and gaming machines as they are
specifically listed within it. It clearly refers to entertainment
machines, pin ball machines, video machines, winnings payout, etc,
