Introducing an electronic system within the European market is getting challenging from the design perspective. Indeed it is not enough to design a working system, the system must comply with several regulations. In particular what is required for a certain product is defined by the European directives. The European directives are publicly available and can be found online by Euro Lex. The directives are very high level regulations but are a “must to be compliant” with. For an engineer looking for numbers, the directives are not the answer they may search for. Indeed the directives describe general needs that a system may support, but not how to achieve it or test it to make sure that you are compliant. The directives only require the designer to test the product with the “state of the art” knowledge, but do not specify what those are. Once you are compliant with the directives you may apply the CE marching on the product that can be sold in the European market. It is important to highlight that multiple directives generally apply to the same product, thus some time may be needed to understand which ones really apply to the product and which not.

GIANO BIFRONTE
L'eccellente lavoro del Mauro mette il dito su un grosso problema.Se è vero che dal punto di vista teorico il tutto sembrerebbe una verità, dal punto di vista pratico la situazione sembrerebbe diversa. Se non sei sufficientement e grande da auto certificarti devi ricorrere a un certificatore i cui costi dipendono dalle stellette che ha sulla giacca, da dove abita, e dal numero di test che secondo lui devi fare per quel tipo di prodotto. E'però altrettanto vero che una normativa è necessaria anche se non è come fare un programma in C.
