Re: NRTL Listing
Hi Joe, Personally, in my humble opinion, I'd have to question what would happen to my end user if for any reason what so ever the AC adapter shorted over to the 7vdc side. This is a personal opinion. I try to stand up on a soap box about matters like this and usually lose. But, in my opinion, I try to read the spirit of the standards rather than the black and white. I understand that what I'm suggesting is not really spelled out in black and white somewhere, but if given half the chance, I'd test. One of my jobs is safety whether it's written in some standard or not. I would think of the adapter AND the product to which it's attached as the system. Not only that, but a 115/230 VAC AC powered system and test it as such. Again, simply my opinion ... Regards, Doug McKean At 03:29 PM 6/25/99 -0400, Finlayson, Joe wrote: Hello Group, I am in the midst of evaluating the compliance status of a particular product for a potential OEM relationship. This product is a standalone box with Ethernet ports powered by an external AC adapter with an output of 7VDC. The adapter is NRTL Listed, IEC 950 CB report, etc. although the box itself has no safety certs whatsoever. My understanding is that there is no legal requirement to have an NRTL Listing, etc. for such a product although my policy has been to get that third party mark to minimize liability and such. Can anyone share some more info as to their reasons for listing or not listing such a product which is well below hazardous limits. Horror stories are definitely welcome as I would like ammunition to justify my case to force the issue.

Re: voltage on Neutral line, Measurements From Chile
Wow! What kind of three-phase power is this - delta or wye? Is this an example of the neutral conductor not being grounded, and just being a tap on a transformer?

Is there a limit on how high the voltage may be, both in normal and fault conditions? Some of our Cellular base stations are located in regions of Chile where power is being intentionally turned off due to low water conditions at hydro-electric plants. We have been montoring the voltage at these sites due to concerns about the battery backup system. The cell sites use 380V Line to Line, 220V Line to Neutral, 3-Phase power. During restoration of power, the voltage on neutral sometimes rises to 220V Line to Ground for several cycles. The voltage on the phases has been measured as great as 440V Line to Line for several cycles, with Line to Neutral voltages as high as 380V. There does not seem to be much power available during this transition time with the wild voltages. Preliminary measurements in Brazil are showing some of the same results. The load regulation at remote sites seems to be a problem.

FW: EFFECT
Interesting to note that the term Electromagnetic Effect could be triggered by Enrico Fermi back in the 40's when he suggested that electromagnetic effects would be observed in a nuclear explosion ( with different generation mechanisms- Surface Burst, Air Burst, HEMP etc and different waveshapes and levels) and lightning strikes. Towards achieving better Electromagnetic Compatibility, this resulted in the introduction of MIL 462 tests CS10, CS 11, CS 12, CS 13 and RS05- with most waveforms simulated by the commonly available Solar Transient Generators in shielded rooms and/or Bounded wave TEM cells. In a narrow sense therefore, it could be said that to achieve good compatibility, the equipment should withstand external natural or man made electromagnetic effects. Another form of environmental effect on EMC is the deterioration of EMC gaskets, beryllium fingers and formation of oxides on an otherwise perfect bond in salty, humid or corrosive atmosphere rendering shielding effectiveness failure over time and/or environment, bringing up issues of periodic EMI/EMC Preventive Maintainence in the log books!

Subject: SCART specification question
I've been asked to look at a gadget which is intended for connection to
the
SCART port on a TV or VCR. The gadget in question is powered via a
plug-top
transformer, which we can specify to be SELV output.
My question relates to the specification of the SCART port which is, I
guess, a standard configuration (although a key-word search on SCART in
the
BS catalogue throws up no references, I notice...)
Is it, or is it not, safe to assume that connections made to the SCART
interface are SELV? In other words, even if we ensure that all parts of
our
product powered at SELV, do we have to treat those parts connected to
the
SCART interface as potentially live, or can we assume that they too will
be
SELV?
Any ideas (including a reference to the basic SCART specification) would
be
helpful.
Regards
Nick.

I presented to Engineering and Marketing the legal requirements from the directives and let them make the choice as to what languages we should actually use. In the end we decided to print in five languages - English, French, German, Spanish, Italian as a matter of course. Marketing came back with one special request to add either Swedish or Finnish, I can't remember which. We don't do any other languages. We have had no complaints as to what languages we either have or don't have. Except from our documentation people who have to make out the purchase requisitions for the translations which are very costly.

RE: EU Official Languages
It should be borne in mind that there may be certain national consumer laws which require user documentation to be in the national language. Dave Wilson EMC Manager BABT Product Service -- Original Text -- From: POWELL, DOUG doug.pow...@aei.com, on 6/30/99 9:56 AM: Richard, I can only speak from my experience with the LVD and EMC directives. 1) The requirement for CE marked products is that the user documentation and the DoC be in one of the official languages of the EU. So, we use English as one of the languages. 2) That being said, the safety standards my company uses to comply with the CE mark, require that we provide user documentation in any of the other official languages if in fact our customer explicitly requires it by contract. However this may be a reduced size document containing only those portions that are specifically related to the safe installation, operation, maintenance and disposal of the product. It is not required that you translate sections like theory of operation, applications, sales literature, etc. 3) Additionally, when we certify a product through a notified body, in this case LGA in Nurnberg Germany, the national public safety law requires a manual in German. I suspect other nationalities within the EU have similar requirements for certified products. This policy has been confirmed by our representative from LGA America. -doug === Douglas E.

RE: Safety Incident Reporting
Hi Richard, I recommend you check out the Consumer Product Safety Commission at http://www.cpsc.gov/ BTW Paul Hill's book is a great resource.

RE: CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS
Canada requires that these markings be both in English and in French. Here is the exact wording, from Annex of ICES-003 : Canadian EMC statement in English and French: This Class (insert A or B) digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil num/erique de la classe (A ou B) respecte toutes les exigences du R\eglement sur le mat/eriel brouilleur du Canada. (Accent aigue over a vowel is denoted by / before that vowel. Accent grave over a vowel is denoted by \ before that vowel. And both are underlined.)

However, an equipment label is required which is similar to the FCC Class A label. The suggested text is given in the Annex of ICES-003 . This Class (A or B) digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Functionally it is similar to a DISH network receiver, but ours is not a consumer product. We worked with test labs to obtain conformance to FCC Part 15, and CE, for which we have a DOC. Now our US customer wants to lease some of the units in Canada. What else do we need to do? George Waters - This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
