Richard If you are not the applicant of the UL mixer safety file then ask the Applicant of the mixer to check their mixer file under “ Production Line Test Requirements” and that section tells you the test UL requires for your production line. Or call UL”Follow Up Service” and ask an engineer if a mixer would allow a 1 second 1200V test ….generally. UL won’t give you a specific answer to a specific model (for confidentiality)but somebody there will know how a mixer needs to be tested on a production line. IMHO
Regards Dan Anchondo Vivotech,Inc _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Pittenger Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 8:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Japan's DENAN Law - PSE Mark Listees, We export small commercial food mixers to Japan and have recently been informed by our distributor there that we must start complying with the marking and other requirements of the law which supposedly has been in place since 2001. We're being told that one of the requirements is for a dielectric withstand (hi-pot) test which must be conducted for one minute at 1000 V on all mixers. Each of these mixers is already hi-pot tested for compliance with UL requirements, but UL permits a one second test at 1200 V. The one second test is favored by the plant since it saves time. Our importer claims that the one second test is not permissible, that the test must be conducted for one minute. Since we don't have copies of the standards involved, do any of you have experience with these requirements and is it true that only a one minute hi-pot test is permissible? Thanks for any information you can provide on this subject. Richard I. Pittenger Agency Approval Engineer Food Retail Div.
