This from the NCC electrical specification-

[FONT=TwCenMT,Bold][FONT=TwCenMT,Bold]Electromagnetic Compatibility (Segregation of systems for other reasons)[/FONT][/FONT]
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Regulations 2006 apply to electrical and electronic equipment liable
to cause electromagnetic disturbance or the performance of which is liable to be affected by such
disturbance. The purpose of the Regulations is to ensure that the electromagnetic disturbance generated by
electrical or electronic equipment does not exceed a level above which radio and telecommunications
equipment and other equipment cannot operate as intended, and that the equipment itself has an adequate
level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbance.
The standards call for the designer of the electrical installation to be aware of possible problems, even
dangers, when two electrical systems or equipments, placed in proximity with each other, are not compatible
‘electromagnetically.’

This can cause one or both systems or equipments to malfunction; and if such a malfunction causes a safety system to not work properly, then the outcome could be a dangerous situation.

I could be wrong (and I usually am) but that appears to be to do with radio type equipment (I know it says about other stuff) and not specifically to do with motorhomes.
Why would the rest of Europe be able to do it if it was an obvious safety problem, and why would they be allowed to export that safety problem to us?
