[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 392860, member: 6969"] The EMC directive is just another shambles. I was working in machine design when it came in and it caused our company a lot of headaches and a lot of expense to comply. More accuratly to prove we complied as very little actually changed. How many prosecutions do you see? What would trading standards actually DO if you go and tell them the LED lamp you have just bought with a CE sticker on it kills the FM or DAB reception in your house? What are YOU as en electrician fitting these things supposed to do? Test it in an actedited EMC test facility or just accept it has a CE mark so it must be okay? It started out with good intentions but has become a largely unpoliced bit of legislation. Much of what comes from China has a CE mark. Much of that is freely on sale in the UK, not just from ebay. Much of that is damn right dangerous as well as casing interference. But what is actually done? not a lot it would seem. As long as we stick to buying goods from a reputable supplier, then the best we can hope for if they cause interference is to return them for a refund. If they get lots of returns they might switch product, perhaps? [/QUOTE]
