----- Original Message ----- From: David <mailto:[email protected]> Cuthbert To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 9:19 PM Subject: certification question A question for the compliance guys: My company sells engineering evaluation PCBs with our IC’s on them. I believe that they are supplied worldwide. Some products contain or use oscillators that are above 10 kHz. And potentially some boards have voltages that exceed 42 volts. Are we required to obtain FCC and CE certification. I.E. EMC, safety, ESD, and so on?
