Hello All, I have microprocessor education board destined for school microprocessor laboratory use. It is PCB with system + LCD + LED display + simple keyboard + some digital inputs and outputs + some analogue inputs and outputs +... The user can load his program into system's memory and run it under PC control. The user can build his own devices and control them by connecting to this system.
I wonder which is the right standard for it. In my opinion it is not information technology equipment because it's main task is not data manipulation and telecommunication (my translation form Polish PN-EN 55022 and PN-EN 55024). I supposed EN-61326 as my device is for laboratory use. Now I have PN-EN-61326 (it is in English - will be translated in year or two) and read it's scope and I'm not sure how to understand it. It is for: .... electrical equipment.....intended for..... educational use, including ..... - laboratory use. I am trying to interpret the ",including", because I can't find my device in the list after it. I supposed laboratory use, but laboratory use is later explained as for analyse substances and prepare materials only. Does this 'including' means that my device must be in the list after, or the list after is also included to the scope (together with devices described before it). My questions: If my device is for educational use is it enough to use EN-61326 or not ? If not (I am looking on the list after 'including'): If device can be used for something is it for it ? Is it for - measurement (it has analogue inputs so can be used for it) ? Is it for - test (user program testing) ? Is it for - control (has digital inputs/outputs) ? If not EN-61326 than which next EN-xxxx should I order ? In my opinion the requirements of EN-61326 are much, much more adequate for my device typical use and user expectations than EN-55022, EN 55024 or EN-61000-6-1 and EN-61000-6-3. I hope I made not a lot of grammar mistakes. Thanks in advance for any answer. Piotr Galka [email protected] This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
