Basic standards do not provide the presumption of compliance with the essential requirements. Only generic, family or product standards can do that. If you component is legally subject to a directive, then you must apply the appropriate generic, family or product standard or use the Tecnical Construction File route. The standards that you apply will depend, as you say, upon the end applications that you envision for your component. You may have to use several family standards. If your component is not legally subject to a directive, you only have to do what is necessary to keep your customers happy.
Richard Woods Sensormatic Electronics Tyco International -----Original Message----- From: Brian O'Connell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 10:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EMC stds Good People of EMC-PSTC: Current D of C for a component SMPS lists basic stds (e.g., 61000-4-x), but customer wants product family stds listed. Based on my limited understanding of ITE EMC stds (55022/4), it would seem that only referenced basic stds can be listed; and that the product family std can only apply to the end-use item. Correct? Comments appreciated. R/S, Brian ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
