Fellow list members, I have been discussing the EU requirements of a passive, resistive sensor pad with a client for the past several months. The device is placed on the floor and if so much force is applied to it (a person steps on it), it triggers a separate device.
The device is obviously part of a social alarm system, for which there are requirements (50130-x). I suggested that they take a similar approach as a PC peripheral maker by demonstrating that the resistive device does not cause a typical, compliant product, to be non-compliant. Is that reasoning sound? The latest twist in the tail is that the devices are to be marketed to long term elder care facilities. Does this fall under the MDD? And if so, what is the road to compliance for such a device?
