Hi Mark,
If you ship the adapter (deemed active or not) with your device then the accountability of shipping a compliant device is your responsibility and will require you to test at system level to meet the requirements of 89/336. It goes back to the ole CE + CE = ??? Regards, Mark Schmidt _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Gandler Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 8:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: EMC Directive requirements for LINEAR power adapter Group, I am not sure how I ended up caring so much for power adapters recently, but they just will not go away. Would you consider linear power adapter : 240V to 12V/1.5A consists of the transformer, bridge rectifier and capacitor to be EM active device? If it is not active, will it be safe to assume what it will be excluded from 89/336 directive based on EU guidelines?
