@Dusty: it would interest me (really, being involved in CE-marking) how you define EMC-friendly w.r.t. EMC-compliant; the product either emits too much interference or not (and/or vice versa) I'd say
Tony M Aug 4, 2005:
'correct' is indeed an odd word to use, but it does NOT NECESSARILY imply 'compliant' -- this may just be an informal way of saying 'EMC-friendly'
Harry Borsje Aug 4, 2005:
Yes - I would prefer to say EMC-compliant installation as here it is used in the sense of compliant with the European EMC-directive
Non-ProZ.com Aug 4, 2005:
May be... Is it "Electro-Magnetic Compatibility" ??

COMMENT ONLY [NFG]

I'm just using this answer space to reply to Harry's comment regarding 'compliant'.

As I see it, 'compliant' means that the device as a whole meets the specific relevant standards for EMC --- it has a very specific technical meaning.

Whereas the much less formal term 'correct' to me implies simply that the unit respects good EMC design principles, and can reasonably be expected to perform correctly; but the use of this word 'correct' would certainly NOT NECESSARILY imply that the unit was CE-compliant, or had been so tested; of course, there may be other information in the surrounding context that indicates this to be the case, but in the small amount of context given here, I think it would be dangerous to extrapolate beyond the plain-language meaning of 'correct', as it is not linked with any mention of testing, standards etc.

I am particualrly sensitive to these semantic niceties, as I too have for over 10 years been involved with EMC compliance testing and the new CE directives etc.!
