Hello All, I work in an industry in which ( in Europe ) we are subject to insurance regulations as well as the EMC directive. In many countries having your equipment meet these standards entitles the users of the equipment to a premium discount with the insurer. In some countries submitting your equipment for test is optional in others it is required by law. Most, if not all, of the insurance regulations include EMC tests in their suite of tests (including some mighty peculiar ones). I've thought up until now that I would just put up with it until the DOW for our family product comes around and then I thought all these extra tests would go away. I have recently hear for a source in Europe that the insurance industry is exempt from the EMC directive and that they could continue to impose their tests. Can anyone confirm or deny this exemption.
