They are not ITE, so 60950 is definitely out. They can be considered to fall into a grey area between 60730 and 61010. However, 61010 is really aimed at complete equipment, whereas 60730 is definitely aimed at subassemblies for embodiment in equipment. So I would advise applying 60730 and then see if any 'issues' arise with the provisions of 61010. In other words, if there is nothing required by 61010 that is **applicable to, but not met by**, the actuator meeting 60730, then 60730 is sufficient. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. The good news is that nothing is compulsory. The bad news is that everything is prohibited. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Also see http://www.isce.org.uk This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
