Hi Barbara,
Yes, I believe what we have is an official translation of CNS13438. I'm sure it has the usual disclaimers on it warning that in the event of a conflict between the original and the translation, the original Chinese prevails, though.
Thanks for your post detailing the MRAs. I think it helps make some sense out of it for those who aren't following it regularly.
About the "in-country testing required" note on our web site, that's actually intended to refer to telecom testing. BSMI has recognized EMC test reports from designated labs even before the APEC TEL MRA, and DGT adopted this practice when they began evaluating EMC compliance on telecom equipment two years ago. On the telecom front, Taiwan has been ready for some time to move forward with the US on Phase I and more recently Phase II of the MRA. It's just a matter of designating labs outside of Taiwan. As far as I know, the only lab designated for any standard besides EMC is CCS. For wire line telecom, until there are labs designated outside of Taiwan to test to the standard that applies to a product, the practical advice is that it's got to be tested (for telecom) in-country.
Sorry to cause confusion. -Fred Borda Compliance International www.typeapproval.com At PM 12:50 04/22/02 -0700, Barbara Judge wrote:
Hi Fred, Is that an official translation of CNS 13438? By the way in visiting your website I notice that you stipulate that "In-country testing is required for most equipment" Under the APEC Mutual Recognition Arrangement, both Taiwan and the US being signatories, it is not required that testing be conducted in Taiwan. Testing may be conducted by a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB), in the U.S., that has been Nominated by NIST and confirmed by DGT. We are still in Phase 1 of the Arrangement so submission to DGT is still required. Once we move to Phase 2 the confirmed CABs under Phase 2 should be capable of certifying products for DGT. I'd be happy to discuss our capability with you off-line. Best Regards, Barbara _______________________________________ Barbara L.
