Hello, I'll start by saying I don't know when the next version of the Official Journal (harmonised standards) for the EMC and R%TTE Directives is due out. For the EMC and RTTE Directives, the last release was 23 October 2012, so I would expect to see a new version released soon. (Within

Grace: Welding galvanized steel is not a good idea; toxic zinc fumes. What is a building collar? Your immunity lab must be within a shielded enclosure, so it should already be safety grounded. Since you will be doing ESD testing INSIDE the enclosure, you will not have to be draining any
