b) both the
EMISSIONS
and
IMMUNITY
of the electrical equipment that is not
ME
EQUIPMENT
have been
determined not to adversely affect the
BASIC
SAFETY
or
ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE
of the
ME
SYSTEM
;
and
c) the
EMISSIONS
of the electrical equipment that is not
ME
EQUIPMENT
have been determined not to
cause the
EMISSIONS
of the
ME SYSTEM
to exceed applicable limits.
Check compliance by inspection of the documents for this determination and other appropriate
documents or certificates or, if this determination is not performed, by inspection of the documents to
verify that the electrical equipment that is not
ME
EQUIPMENT
has been tested in accordance with this
collateral standard.
