In my experience, most of the UL standards I have been involved with require
date of manufacture marking, which may be in code form. The same code also
satisfies CSA's requirements.

Since UL/CSA sort of agree to a bi-national standard (CSA more the UL these
days), if Canada has the requirement UL would have been obligated to impose it
as well.

Dear All,
CSA is the only North American agency which requires a date code (at least
month and year of manufacturer) on all of their CSA Listings. This may not be
called out in all of the CSA standards, but I believe it stems from
governbment regulations.

Interesting, I just looked in the IEC version of 60950 and you're right I
don't see the requirement for serializing the equipment. But I do remember
having to do so, but maybe its part of the agreements between the NRTL and the
designer/manufacturer. I don't have any current UL listing agreements so I
can't check but surely someone out there has them and could look.

As far as I am aware, there is no date code mandated under any of these (or
most other) Directives - although there are rules relating to the marking of
the year of first application of the CE Marking under the Machinery Directive.
The requirement, as in the General Product Safety Directive, is that the
manufacturer or EU importer must have a means of identifying particular
equipments about which the user might subseqently need to be warned of safety
hazards (etc) or that might need to be traced and recalled.
How you do it is up to you! Serial numbering and/or batch codes are a good
idea to save you having to warn about/recall the whole product line if only a
few known units are affected!

Hello Group,
I need to know, for equipment needing to meet the LVD, Machinery
Directive and EMC requirements, what the date code must consist of. Can the
date be in code form (code only known by the manufacturer) or must it be
the actual year or month and year of manufacture, etc.?
Thanks for your help.
