All,
We have used the CB Scheme very successfully to obtain numerous agency
approvals. The scheme works very well from the product safety side. Due to
the introduction of new EMC requirements throughout the world, we are paying
for multiple EMI/EMC tests as part of our approval process.
1. Are there any plans to develop a CB Scheme type approval for EMC
Testing?
2. If not, which laboratories have the most MRAs in place for EMC Testing?
I suspect Nemko, followed closely by some private EMI test sites (IBM,
Compaq, Dell, etc.).
3. Are there any laboratories which have MRAs in place for the following
countries (approval bodies within the country):
a. Poland
b. Czechoslovakia
c. Brazil (when safety and EMC become manadatory)
d. Norway
e. Russia
f. Slovenia
g. China
h. Japan
i. Korea
j. Taiwan
I currently believe that these countries "require" EMC Certification by an
agency which is either located within their country or accredited by their
approval body. If I have left out any other countries, please do not
hesitate to correct my list.
Thank you very much for your time,
Brent Taira
