Greetings, We are a manufacturer of Laboratory Equipment. We evaluate our products to UL 3101-1, CSA 1010.0 and EN 61010. When we repair a product in the field, which may include replacing power supplies, line filters, etc., what obligations do we have to verify continuing compliance with the safety specifications we originally evaluated our products against? Do we need to perform applicable safety testing following these repairs?
Traditionally, NRTL's are not concerned with the product once it leaves the factory. They do not require follow-up testing to be performed after repairs are made in the field. Since we self-certify to the LVD, should we take a different approach to repairs in the field compared to the approach NRTL's take? Does your company have a specific process that is followed when repairs are made in the field to verify continuing compliance? If so, what is that process? All responses are appreciated.
