John, I agree with your statements as I've correlated EN standards to satisfy a customer who wanted S2 compliance. I believe our last statements in our email sums it all up.
"You may want to get a copy of SEMI S2 and identify the delta's between S2 and your EN certifications to your customers." "Since compliance with SEMI standards and guidelines is primarily for contractual agreement between supplier and user, you have lots of room to negotiate."

SEMI standards and safety guidelines (in my opinion) satisfy the essential requirements of the EU Directives but do not track section by section with the EN Standards that are presumed (by the European Commission, European Standards Organizations, EU courts and other EU authorities) to satisfy the essential requirements of the EU Directives. In this situation the question is how well does compliance with EN standards cross reference with satisfying SEMI industry standards and guidelines. Each EN standard may relate in title and scope (not necessarily technical content) to a specific aspect or section of SEMI S2-0200 Examples: ========= +compliance with EN60204 would meet paragraph 13.4 of SEMI S2-0200 +compliance with EN292-1, EN292-2 likely will meet section 18 of SEMI S2-0200 +compliance with EN60825 will likely meet section 26 of SEMI S2-0200 +compliance with EN55011 & EN61000 series would meet SEMI E33 If you go to the following URL and download Part 3:Standarization Maps (SDO relationships) you'll find a few more croo reference examples. http://www.nepss.org/ESAC/ESACindex.html The obstacle you may face is that evidence of conformance with SEMI standards and guidelines is based on providing the complete SEMI evaluation report to the user. With CE marking you may have some DofC certificates but you probably don't have any of the supporting technical data files. Since compliance with SEMI standards and guidelines is primarily for contractual agreement between supplier and user, you have lots of room to negotiate.

William Co-chair SEMI Europe EH&S standards committee "Collins, Jeffrey" <jcoll...@ciena.com> on 25/06/2002 17:54:49 Nick, What EN's did your product meet? EN 1010, EN60204 and EN292-1 & 2 are the closest relevant spec's I've used which relate to SEMI S2. You may want to look at the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive and the EMAS Voluntary Directive ( Environmental Management and Audit Scheme) for their applicability to your product type. Remember Semi S2 is not a standard it is a design guideline primarily for US based customers. You should also review some US standards such as NFPA 70 & 79, National Electric Code ( NEC), the UBC / UFC ( Uniform Fire Code / Uniform Building Code) and 29CFR-1910 ( OSHA ) You may want to get a copy of SEMI S2 and identify the delta's between S2 and your EN certifications to your customers.
