Some standards are very clear that some tests may not be necessary under certain circumstances. It is required that the test report properly reflects what was done and a reason given for not performing a test. In my opinion, you can claim compliance to any standard when the equipment complies with the requirements of that standard even if some or all of the tests were not necessary (per the standard). Just make sure that the test record records your reasons.

Good question................does this also hold true for 61000-3-2 if your product is under 75 watts? ====================================================================== "Chris Allen" <[email protected]> on 12/07/2000 03:31:14 AM Please respond to "Chris Allen" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] cc: (bcc: Robert E. Heller/US-Corporate/3M/US) Subject: EN 61000-3-3 listing on a DoC. I have a question regarding EN 61000-3-3. The standard states under section 6.1 that "Tests shall not be made on equipment which is unlikely to produce significant voltage flicker and fluctuations". This is true for the equipment in question. I have been asked by a customer to included the standard on the DoC for the unit. My question is: Is it valid to list a standard on a DoC in the above situation i.e. when the product has not been tested against it? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris.
