The New EMC Directive Are You Ready?

摘要

The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have adopted EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. As of July 20, 2007, EMC Directive 89/336/ EEC will be repealed, and any reference thereto will be construed as meaning the new directive. There is a transitional period until July 20, 2009, at which time apparatus compliant to 89/336/EEC no longer can be placed on the market. The original EMC Directive was subjected to review by the Simpler Legislation for the Internal Market (SLIM) committee. Both the SLIM committee and others revealed the need to complete, reinforce, and clarify the framework of 89/336/EEC. There are no changes in the concepts of allowing for free movement of goods, persons, services, and capital within the community.
