Brian, I understand the predicament now. When I talked to the NCB's in my area they all referenced ISO/IEC 17025, so I didn't get stuck with this problem.

And I thought the purpose of standards was to provide for a uniform application of requirements. But I do tend to be a bit naive and foolish in my expectations... And in any case, when a voice in the wilderness asks "what is the basis for x ?" the real questions being asked typically are "what is the rationale for these requirements?" and "how can I encourage the various agencies/NCBs to have more uniform requirements ?". luck, Brian From: Joshua Wiseman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 11:56 AM To: Brian O'Connell; [email protected] Subject: RE: CB, SMT, & TMP Brian, As I understand it ISO/IEC 17025 replaced ISO/IEC Guide 25. The answers to your other questions will depend on who you are using for your NCB. Regards, Josh From: Brian O'Connell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 11:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: CB, SMT, & TMP Good People IECEE 02, cl C1.2 requires lab conformity to "...clauses 7 to 11 of ISO/IEC Guide 25...". I have ISO/IEC 17025, but not the previous standard. What clauses in ISO/IEC 17025 are equivalent to ISO 25 clauses 7 through 11 ? What is basis of competency testing, done to accredit the lab for SMT, that is required by an NCB of manufacturer's test lab personnel and facility, that is above and beyond that required in cl 5.4.5 of ISO 17025 ? In cl C2.3 - what is definition of a "production" sample ? Are there other standards that provide guidance to acceptance of manufacturer's test data for use in an NCB-generated CB Report ? What is the basis for allowing an NCB to accept manufacturer's test data for and to only review (not write) the CB Report under SMT in accordance with IECEE 02, Annex C ? Thanks much for any guidance and insight that can be shared. luck, Brian This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
