This is a truly valuable forum!!!
Thanks for your prompt email response. Perhaps the updated version is EC No.

I was sent a copy of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament
and the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer

Environmental Professionals,
Is anyone familiar with a Common Position EC #19/1999, Official Journal of
European Commision, 4/5/99.
I was told that the EC#19/1999 is a European regulation that prohibits the
shipment of equipment containing HCFC into the EU after January 1, 2001.
I am curious
Chris,
I am interested in knowing the basis of your response to items 1 and 2, as it
is contrary to my understanding of the EMC Directive.
Specifically, it was my understanding that unless the manufacturer is following
ALL of the requirements specified in Standard(s), that they must follow

You raised a very good discussion. I have also seen a few Japanese customer
specifications (and even some European customer specifications)with 30 mA GFCI,
usually with a 0.1 second trip time.
Based on my research, the 30 mA GFCI, 0.1 second is based on JIS C 8371

Kevin,
I had that same issue with I was working with the EMC Directive. In fact, I
had five very different EMC test plan signed-off by different EMC Competent
Bodies. The bottom line is that interpretations do vary between Notified
Bodies. The way they get around this issue, at least
I also wondered... the European Commission publishes the Official Journal of
the European Communities in three languages, French, German and English.
Why can't we?

Answer, No, it is NOT required (compulsory) for a manufacturer to use

I am not sure what industry you are in, but for Industrial Machinery, I know
of two standards addressing the use of red colored indicator lights. Hope
this helps:
EN 60204-1 - Safety of Machinery - Electrical equipment of machines, Part 1,
Table 3: Color for indicator lights and their
of contact separation as the direct result of a specified movement of the
switch actuator through non-resilient members (e.g., not dependent upon
springs)?.
Personal Comment: FYI. Some European testing laboratory interprets this as
requiring a dual contact EMO actuator.
Hope this helps!

a machine part must be handled during use with lifting equipment, its mass
