Don,
I work at a start-up and we have zero budget for this type of activity. I get my updates from the following sources, in order of importance: - The emc-pstc user group (#1 by a large margin) - Trade magazines (Conformity, etc.) - Test labs that I use - Customer requirements (although it may be dangerous to get requirements at this late stage!) - Conferences. If the conference isn’t free, it is unlikely that anyone from my group will attend. In the past while at a large multi-national company, I’ve used a service which supplied me hard-copy FCC updates but it really proved to be a waste of money particularly now when everything is on-line. Life at a small company may be a very different financial world from yours but thought that you be interested in the experience. Cheers, Marko _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Umbdenstock, Don Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 12:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Regulatory Search Dear members, It is budget time again for us. We are looking for better ways of managing regulatory requirements. I’d like to know what services you find effective to keep track of new regulations and updates at the National level State level (such as California energy conservation mandate) International level (RoHS, energy conservation, new safety regs/marking, etc). If you don’t use a service, what other methods do you use to keep current?
