Some comments [ ] based on Tom's note:
Article 3 of the EMC Directive states, "...apparatus referred to in
Article 2 may be placed on the market or taken into service only if it
complies with the requirements laid down by this Directive when it is
installed and maintained a

in noticeable increase in noise.

0V/50H. A UL or CSA test report for a 220V
version of a product might help obtain SACI/CCIB certification; however,
the marks alone will suffice. A CB report will be more effective at getting
the CCIB approval/mark.

using LEDs in a similar fashion.
Does anyone know if this was the intent of the authors of IEC 825-1, and if
test houses are going to follow the described interpretation if it is approved?
