EMC re-test for changes in PCB layout? You betcha. Ghery S. Pettit
-----Original Message----- From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Brian Oconnell Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 5:00 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: receiving/approval processes under fire The siege is underway. The senior design engineers claim that, after conference with colleagues in other companies, many of my conformity requirements have never been required by their compliance people. Some of the receiving/approval processes that are in dispute: - CoC from plastic component supplier that is not recognized molder. - processed wire tags from re-spoolers. - document audits from suppliers having no agency recognition. - labeling requirements for re-packaged chemicals. - EMC re-test for some changes of PCB layout. - update of CB report when values on some safety-critical components changed. The last one I slammed and immediately won the argument. Others may be more difficult. Yes, I know that UL and others publish papers on traceability requirements. So none of you regulatory people do this??
