Tony, First, I'm confused. If you know that your product complies with FCC Part 15 and UL19050, why are you asking EMC and safety certification guidance in the US? Or, are you just making the statement? Anyway, compliance with IEC950 does not equate to compliance with UL1950. There are a few national deviations to be considered. Making the crossover might be a little easier with a CB certificate & report. If this product is indeed truly compliant with UL1950 as indicated, then Listing of your product with an OSHA approved NRTL (Nationally Recognized Test Lab) is required. There is a bit of contractual process involved and testing will likely be required. Any NRTL should be able to get you started. See the following web address for the list of NRTLs for the category your product falls into: http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/nrtl/index.html As for FCC Part 15, the FCC accepts data taken to the limits of CISPR22, however, the test must have been performed in accordance with ANSI C63.4 and performed at 120V, not 220V. There are also some requirements for the test lab as well. For safety, a CofC will not be sufficient. For FCC Part 15, a CofC may be sufficient depending on your target market's environment. In addition, registering your equipment with the FCC (Part 68) will also be required to connect to the telephone network. This is accomplished by formal testing and an application to the FCC. Formal product marking and manual statements are required. If you are unsure of how to proceed, enlist the services of a consultant or someone knowledgeable in this area to assist you. You may find that this investment will likely be well worth it. That's it in a nutshell. And, be advised that the above represents my experiences intermixed with my opinions. Good luck and best regards, Ron Pickard [email protected]

It meets EMC emission limits CISPR22 class A, IEC-1000 series Immunity limits an IEC950 safety requirements. This is sufficient for CE marking. Equipment complies with FCC part 15 emission requirements and UL1950. Could someone put me on the right track regarding EMC and safety certification i the USA. Can we legally issue certificate of compliance and export this equipmen to USA or is it mandatory to test it again in the USA test House? Do we have to register this equipment with Authorities such as FCC? How do we go formally about it Regards Tony Olejnicki [email protected] --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
