I forgot one - the Battery Directive applies to all batteries. Richard Woods
---------- From: WOODS, RICHARD Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 1:44 PM To: 'EMC-PSTC' Subject: RE: Military Equimpment and the EU The RTTE Directive would apply if the equipment intentionally transmits or receives using the rf spectrum or if the equipment connects to the telephone network. The Machinery Directive would apply if moving parts present higher risks than electrical hazards (see the directive for the details). Richard Woods ---------- From: Stewart, Judd [SMTP:stewart.jud...@sd.littonisd.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 1:16 PM To: 'EMC-PSTC' Subject: Military Equimpment and the EU Good morning! I am faced with coming up with a regulatory strategy for equipment that will be sold to a foreign military (member of the EU). The equipment is entirely military and has military unique attributes. The products range from battery operated hand held devices to laptops that can use a battery adapter which plugs into the mains. All units have LI-ION batteries and High voltage inverters for powering the LCD backlight. Some have a standard PCMIA card slot which will allow the user to install a commercial modem if he chooses. We do not provide this card I have reviewed the LVD and EMC directives and find no exclusion for military equipment. Is there? What other directives may be applicable? Thanks in advance Judd Stewart Northrop Grumman San Diego Calif. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
