Hi Dave,

The failure in the Rules is that they fail to see ALL wiring connected 
to a potential noise source as a radiator. Having served as Vice-Chair 
of an international standards body (the Audio Engineering Society 
Standards Committee WG on EMC) for nearly 20 years, I understand the 
difficulty of reaching agreement on complex issues, even without the 
influence of the corruption of financial influence by corporate interests.

More than ten years ago, EU members of the EMC WG noted that EU 
Standards were being updated to require compliance testing of products 
with wiring as they would be used in systems.
