All electrical or electronic devices must comply with the EMC Directive unless they are considered a component. A component is not sold to the general public, but is intended to be integrated into a final product by another manufacturer.
A very low voltage device such as your camera is except from the Low Voltage Directive. The transformer would have to comply. In the end, if your camera is sold to the general public in the EU, it must be CE marked to indicate compliance with the EMC Directive. Richard Woods Sensormatic Electronics ---------- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Digital Cameras List-Post: [email protected] Date: Monday, August 04, 1997 1:53PM I have a situation that maybe someone can give me an interpretation on. We are in the process of OEM a digital camera, along with a video card to create badges. The camera comes without a power supply, you have to supply your own. The video card has CE approvals. I am being told by the camera vendor that CE approval is not needed on the camera, only on the power supply. My interpretation of the standards is that the camera is an extension of the PC, where the video card is installed and needs CE approval. Has anyone run across a situation like this? Are digital cameras exempt from CE approvals? Thanks in advance. Bob McIntosh [email protected]
