AND, as I should have said, obtained up-to-date copies of the certification docs!
John E Allen W. London, UK From: Regan Arndt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 21 September 2017 21:39 To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Safety critical component part #'s and Agency approvals Greetings everyone, My experience in regulatory compliance dates back to 1994 where it was a foregone conclusion that most component manufacturers did not identify their agency certification as a unique identifier in their part number. I have seen some good progress over the years, but I also believe that the industry still continues to eliminate redundant certification (due to standards harmonization) or sometimes complete agency certification (for the sake of cost reduction) on components without changing their respective part number. Or even worse, continue to advertise that the component is approved but in reality, it is not. Has anyone experienced anything recently that they wish to share? P.S. I am updating my old safety presentation and need some good examples before I present again to our local IEEE chapter meeting. Thanks for sharing whatever you can. (privately or within this forum) Cheers!
