Believe it or not, this has been seriously discussed at one of the IEC
EMC committees. I threw in a passing remark about it, as a caution
against inadvertently introducing requirements that would lead to
creating ludicrous situations.

Most people don't have ANY oscilloscopes. The fact that I have five (and
up to three might be in operation simultaneously) doesn't create a
situation that affects the harmonic levels on the UK supply system to a
detectable extent!

The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
The bad news is that everything is prohibited.
