Very good explanation. Thank you very much. The Other Brian -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wiseman, Joshua E Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 10:36 AM To: Boštjan Glavič; [email protected] Subject: [BULK] RE: [PSES] Standards Dates Importance: Low
This falls into a unique area of the NRTL program. If a standard is not listed in the scope of the NRTL program than any NRTL can issue approvals to that standard because the approval/certification mark is owned by the NRTL. With that said, if/when a standard is added to the NRTL scope (usually by request of an NRTL) then only those NRTL's with that standard in their NRTL scope can issue approvals to that standard. This posed a very unique situation for the 3rd Ed of 60601-1. OSHA did not want to add the standard to the NRTL scope because of the Risk Management requirements that were added to the standard. Health Canada and the EU had already set dates but it was not added to the NRTL standards list. So, some NRTL's decided to start issuing NRTL approvals to the ANSI/AMEE standard which is acceptable. So, it is wise to keep up to date with the NRTL standards list as well as the specific NRTL's scope. Here is a link that will help you do so. https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html Josh -----Original Message----- From: Boštjan Glavič [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 9:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [External] Re: [PSES] Standards Dates Brian, Are you sure? I have heard that CSA and UL are able to issue NRTL according to 3 rd Ed. We are just in process for applying 2 projects according to 3rd Ed to CSA.
