Apple products DO meet the CISPR Publication No. 22 requirements.
The international committee on RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) -- known as
CISPR -- proposed an RFI standard applicable to all Information Technology
Equipment (ITE). This proposal was agreed upon by many nations, including --
but not limited to -- Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark,
Egypt, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, South
Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, U.S.A., and U.S.S.R.
As mentioned before, our products meet the CISPR Publication No. 22
requirements.-- which (as of November, 1989) aren't legally required or policed
by any of the countries to which we sell products. Neither is any sort of mark
or symbol that indicates a product passes the CISPR standards presently
required. Labels WILL be required, but probably not until 1992. The CISPR
mark will include the letters "EC" for European Conformity.
The European Computer Manufacturers' Association (ECMA) published a CISPR
look-alike specification so that its members could prepare themselves in
advance of when the CISPR document was published in August 1985. Therefore, you
may hear that standard referred to as:
ECMA 95 (March 1985) Information Technology Equipment Limits of
interference and measurement methods.
Apple Manufacturing in Cork will add FTZ numbers to product labels for those
countries requiring VDE testing; otherwise, there are no special "RFI" marks or
symbols on Apple products sold in Europe. Canada, though supporting CISPR, had
already aligned its RFI standard to that of the FCC in the U.S.A., and uses a
mark that looks like the characters "SA" encircled by a letter "C":
______
|
| SA
|______
Products destined for sale in the U.S.A. have an FCC approval number.
