Hello List Members,
I am forwarding a question I got from a new business partner in the UK. Since my experience is with stand-alone controllers, I didn't want to answer without some professional input. He asks: We have been asked for declarations of conformity for EMC for our panels which are part of a fixed installation - similar to an HVAC control system. We use devices in the panels from various suppliers and have declarations for each device. We have a technical file for all the devices, and the panel design and construction. Who, in your opinion would constitute the responsible person who should sign such a document. To expand, I would assume that some of my equipment (HVAC controls, access controls, lighting controls, power monitoring equipment) could be in his packaged solution (panel). So would he provide my D of C's to his customer or one drafted on his companies letterhead with his signature? I am just guessing here, but I would think that if he marks the overall panel with CE, then he is responsible. If that's the case, can someone please suggest what standards should be applied? In my business, we have used product standard 61326-1 or generic EMC standards (61000-6-X). But now we are moving towards the 50491 series standards. Thank you in advance for your comments.
