Hello Oscar, FYI The 6th ed of IEC60065 does not include battery powered product in the scope but the recently published 7th 2001 ed does now include battery powered product.......I would stick with the 6th edition as the 7th has not been adopted by many countries yet.....I agree with Sam in that if your product connects to a mains connected battery charger then IEC60065 would definitely apply.... Even if the product does not use a charger and if there are no specific standards for battery powered digital cameras (don't believe there are) you can still use IEC60065 6th ed as it is not excluded in the scope.
I would still want to verify safety compliance of my product if I were you. As far as I remember if your product is less than 75Vdc, as outlined in Article 1, your product should not have to legally comply with the LVD in any case and you should be able to legally mark your product based solely on compliance with the EMC Directive.....................I'd be interested in any information anyone has to the contrary on this subject................. regards, John -----Original Message----- From: Sam Davis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 2:29 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Emc-Pstc Subject: RE: Are There Any Standards that Apply to Digital Cameras UL 6500 - Audio/Video and Musical Apparatus for Household, Commercial, and Similar Use. IEC 60065 - Audio, Video, and Similar electronic Apparatus - Safety Requirements. The UL Standard is based on this, with of course, deviations. I don't have a copy of it at my desk, so I cannot verify that battery-operated audio and video products are listed in the scope, as they are in the UL Standard. If the IEC Standard does not specify battery-operated, but still has the line "designed to be fed from the mains or from a SUPLY APPARATUS", supply apparatus being defined as "apparatus which takes power from the mains and from which one or more other apparatus are fed", then the camera, if it has a power supply adapter, would fall into the scope. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 7:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Are There Any Standards that Apply to Digital Cameras Everyone, Does anyone know of any product safety standards that apply to digital cameras? The simple, personal, "AA" battery powered type of digital cameras. Thank you.
