Good People, The requirement in question was the sole and unique use of an non-EN standard for a D of C. "Certification" to a UL standard, by itself, cannot be the basis of an D of C for the EU. But, and this has not been stated by the OP, if Type tests and construction indicated conformance to the requirements of a LVD-listed standard, and there has been no "certification" by an NCB to an EN standard, the D of C should cite a TCF. Been there, and had to do this... luck, Brian -----Original Messages----- From: Gary McInturff [ mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 10:44 AM To: 'Brian O'Connell'; [email protected] Subject: RE: standards quoted on EU D of C Correct, but when you have a CB report prepared - by whomever - that report is based on IEC standards not UL, BSI or whatever. UL's report format is very "CB" looking in format etc, and is only for the US (or North America if its a bi-national standard). In the reference section you will see either UL65000 for a UL report, or if its a CB report it will state IEC 60065. Check to see if it says, CB report or UL report - and you'll have to pay for each even though they are very similar. Gary Hello, Sorry I disagree with the initial response. Certainly there are no UL standards listed in the OJ but............ A DoC is a declaration that a product meets "essential requirements" of the directive not conformity to any particular standard Standards published in the OJ for the LVD only give presumption of conformity to those "essential requirements", they don't absolutely have to be used. If one so chooses, one may construct a product to the "essential requirements" without actually using a harmonized standard. In this case, the methods used to assess whether or not the product conforms to the essential requirements of the directive, must form part of the technical construction file and be available for review. I am not personally familiar with UL60065 but if UL did their homework properly, then the CB report that you mentioned should cover any differences between the UL and EN versions of this document ( well, presuming that you told them all your intended markets) If that is the case, then I really don't see a problem in making a declaration listing either standard. Just document what you did.
