Hello Christine,
No violation at all.
IEC/EN 60950-1/UL60950-1/CSA C22.2 60950-1 allow the plug on the power supply
cord or the appliance coupler to serve as a disconnect.
For your info, most swithes on ITE equipment are single pole - they are not
double-pole and do not have the 3 mm contact gap to qualify them as a
disconnect device to shut off the system for servicing.
Best Regards,
Peter

Subject: Requirements for Power On/OFF Switch...US and EU Europe

Hi List Members,
We purchased a networking product that will reside in the Customer
Premise (
CPE) environment. ( FCC class A in the US )
We noticed that the unit DOES NOT have a power switch or a mains
disconnect.
In order to turn the unit off you have to pull out the plug from the unit or
the wall.
This units runs on 120V- 220V auto-range.
Does this violate any safety rules in the US or Europe? The unit has an
NRTL
mark on it but is seems a little bizarre that it does not have a way of
disconnecting power other than pulling out the plug.
Anyone have any clarification on this......
Thank you!
Christine Rodham
