EU regulations
The BRAVO analyzer has been developed according to EN 61326-1:2013 Electrical
equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - EMC requirements - Part 1:
General requirements. The BRAVO analyzer is a class A equipment.
Class A equipment is suitable for the use in all establishments other than domestic and
those directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes.
