Tungsten Halogen Lamp spec's
Hello all, I'm presently involved in a decorative lamp project (IEC 60558-1 and -2-4) which utilizes a 24 Watt, 12 Volt tungsten-halogen lamp. The question is: What is the definition of high pressure and low pressure with respect to tungsten halogen lamps, as defined in IEC 60357, Paragraph 9.1 ??? (I'm reluctant to purchase the standard for this one bit of information) ThanX, Art Michael A.E. Michael, Dir. of Engineering Product Safety Int'l 166 Congdon St. East, Dept.

CE versus FCC
Grateful thanks to all who responded to my query reference the above. I recieved 39 replies which I am now working my way through. The basic message seems to be you guys in the US have it easy as the FCC do not require Immunity testing. Many Thanks Brian Harlowe * opinions expressed here are personal and in no way reflect the position of VG Scientific

EMC and Safety standards
G'day I am seeking help in identifying EMC and Safety standards used in Libya and the Phillipines. Do they have specific requirements or do they accept IEC or UL / FCC requirements ? Regards and thanks Tony Lamont in Sydney where really cold means less than 10 C

I searched the net but did not find a web page. I have not used their equipment, but I noticed several types of impulse testers in their catalog; hopefully one will meet your needs.

RE: Ce versus FCC
To All, For the latest proposal from the FCC on conducted emissions, look at this WEB site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/dockets/et98-80/ Paul Rostek EMC / Safety Compliance Engineer NCR Corp. San Diego -- From: eric.lif...@natinst.com[SMTP:eric.lif...@natinst.com] Reply To: eric.lif...@natinst.com Sent: Thursday, July 02, 1998 1:08 PM To: Brian Harlowe Cc: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Re: Ce versus FCC The FCC has the authority to mandate immunity for Part-15 devices, but has declined to do so. The exception is for consumer telephones and other telephone equipment under FCC Part-68 rules. But in general, noise immunity is practically unregulated in the USA. The FCC expects industry to handle immunity problems (either by design or by technical support) and wants the consumer to understand that immunity problems are not a matter for FCC involvement. For example, here is the Class A (and old Class B) warning label required under Part-15 section 15.19: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Only noise emission is regulated under Part-15. You may use CISPR-22 emission limits with ANSI C63.4 test procedures. Note that the FCC expects conducted emissions to be measured at 115 VAC, 60 Hz. Since the FCC is changing their procedures every other month or so, you should check their web page for current information (and download the rules - officially known as 47 CFR Part 15 and Part 2) at: http://www.fcc.gov Regards, Eric Lifsey Compliance Engineer/Manager National Instruments Brian Harlowe bharl...@vgscientific.com on 07/02/98 11:49:41 AM Please respond to Brian Harlowe bharl...@vgscientific.com To: emc-p...@ieee.org cc:(bcc: Eric Lifsey/AUS/NIC) Subject: Ce versus FCC Can someone out there tell a poor Englishman the basic differences between the requirements of the FCC rules and the requirements to comply with the EEC emc directive. i.e. Do you have to do immunity testing and ESD tests to comply with the FCC rules that sort of thing.

Re: EN61000-3-2 Harmonics testing 16 amps ITE equipment
Gary, EN 61000-3-2 is not an immunity requirement. It is an emissions requirement. It is not related to EN 50082-1 1997. You will get different opinions as to the required implementation date for products which did not fall under EN 60555 standards. If your product needed to comply with the EN 60555 standards, the date of withdrawal is Jan. 1, 2001. In my opinion, most manufacturers whose products did not fall under EN 60555 are still considering the implementation date to be Jan. 1,2001. Some individuals will say that they believe it is mandatory now. According to the European Community Quarterly Review newsletter, The European Association of Competent Bodies submitted a proposal to the European Commission to withdraw EN 61000-3-2 due to its excessively complex and unnecessarily harsh requirements. This proposal is being considered on behalf of the Commission by CENELEC. If you would like to discuss this subject more, let me know. Best of luck. Joe Martin EMC/Product Safety Engineer P.E.

It is my impression that this test has begun to be adopted as part of the EN50082-1 1997 with a requirement transition period of 2years. Anybody know the current status?
