I'd like to respond. I just read the Federal Register notice (go to this URL and click on the second item) http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/multidb.cgi There are no requirements for LEDs NOW in the 21CFR 1040. In 1992, the FDA's CDRH published an NOI (Notice Of Intent) to update 21 CFR

Hi Jim: 1. Am I correct that the North American agencies (CSA, UL, ETL, etc.) allow line-to-ground MOV's? The standards we work with do not disallow them, but this is the sort of issue for which agencies often invoke desk drawer requirements. Can't answer this one. But, why use surge

Thanks to all the responses. A suggested off line contact with one of the persons involved with the limits produced confirmation of much of what has been said. If I may take the liberty to paraphrase his response - it was determined to prevent radio interference at an agreed upon

RTTE LVD Directives

1999-05-28 Thread WOODS, RICHARD
The RTTE Directive says the LVD will apply with no lower voltage limit; however, it is not clear to me if internal battery operated equipment with no recharge connections is subject to the LVD. Article 1 of the LVD seems to imply that the directive applies only to devices with external power

UL on DC powered radios ?

This is reposted because I believe it went into the bit bucket the first time. Group: Pehaps you can help me overcome an area of some confusion to me. If our radio products are AC powered from a line cord, we get UL listing, CSA certification, etc. No question. But what if a radio is DC

Greetings, I have just received the following message from a colleague. I have not verified this personally, but I thought it would be of interest to this forum. The FDA published in the Federal Register on March 24, 1999, a request for comments from the public to remove LEDs as devices

Bob, I don't know if this will help you with your situation but you may want to check out clause 1.1.3 of EN 61010-1:1993. It has a note that states similar equipment within the scope of IEC 950 and complying with its requirements are considered suitable for use with equipment within the scope

The ITU regulations give an indication where the CISPR levels are coming from;- The ITU-R (BS.412) recommendation for minimum useable field strength in urban areas is 54dbuV/m (for FM stereophonic service) and defines a radio-frequency co-channel protection against steady state interference of

Lothar, Of all the DofC's I've witnessed in my travels that have been generated from test labs, very few have required the manufacturer's signature. In fact, they were signed by an officer of the test lab. However, to be fair, these DofC's issued from test labs may be only intended for
