Please ignore my previous (illiterate) post. I was raised mostly in Texas, so English is not my native tongue...
For the purpose of this discussion, the term 'battery charger' does not indicate consumer goods, but an end-use device intended for professional fire and police use - where the Dec of Conformity points to standards harmonized in the LVD and RTTE. Does conformity to 62430 provide presumption of conformity to the EuP, RoHS, and/or REACH directives ? I could not find it on any harmonized list. Another thing that still confuses me is that the EuP points to the U.S. EnergyStar regulations - which seems to include battery chargers as a separate device (that is, not as an EPS), where the requirements are scoped for battery chargers, but the EuP directive and associated implementations do not indicate that non-EPS chargers are scope by any requirements. Another source of confusion is that the 'Lot 7 Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies Final Report' indicates that the EuP shall include battery chargers. I would appreciate some links to official EU sites that indicate if battery chargers are within the scope of the EuP directive. yours in illiteracy, Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Brian > O'Connell > Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 8:33 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Environmental design > > > Thanks very much to Nick for the info.
