Re: Guam.
Hi George, First, Guam is an island in the Pacific located roughly north of Australia and east of the Phillipines. Second, the last that I knew Guam was a U.S. Territory. Though essentially independent, the US Dept of the Interior has/had jurisdiction. But you will likely need the most current information, so contact your local US Dept. of the Interior office or the one in Washington DC. As for the other items, Residential Supply Voltage Characteristics, Plug-Type, Cord Approvals, etc. should all be strictly US based. I hope this helps.

RE: FDA requirements
Nick, The best site for all this information is the FDA site itself: www.fda.gov. Click on the medical device section on the home page. Then choose Premarket issues. And, then approval clearance. That will take you through the classification process provide you with the various requirements for device approval in order to achieve market clearance. You also should consider the use of recognized standards the possibility of third-party review. Post market considerations can be found under the GMP/QS section. You should also review the device design labeling sections. I have included the three classifications for thermometer's for you-so it depends on the specific use of your device. Thermometer, clinical color change, Class I, CFR 880.2900---exempt from a 510k filing Thermometer, electronic, clinical, Class II, CFR 880.2910-requires a 510k filing Thermometer, clinical mercury, Class II, CFR 880.2920-class II-exempt from 510k For Class I devices a premarket notification application (510k) is not required before marketing the device in the US. Nonetheless, the manufacturer is still required to register their establishment by submitting Form FDA 2891, Initial Registration of Device Establishment, and list the generic category of classification name of the device by submitting Form FDA 2892, Device Listing. Some Class II devices are now exempt from premarket notification requirements as the FDA believes its resources would be better used elsewhere. (E.g.: 880.2920). You'll still need to complete the above-mentioned forms. The thermometer, electronic, clinical device (880.2910) is also a candidate for both Accredited Persons Mutual Recognition Agreement Programs.

RE: Cordset for EEC countries
Hi folks As a point of interest: The EN for the 2-pin flat profile european plug is EN 50075: 1991 Specification for flat non-rewirable two-pole plugs, 2.5A 250V, with cord, for the connection of class II equipment for household and similar purposes - (Applies to plugs without earthing contacts. For indoor use as they have no special protection against ingress of water) (Quoted from 1999 BSI Catalogue). Presumably, being a 2.5A plug, the cable core size is no larger than 0.75 sq mm, and the fuse in the adaptor thus should be no larger than 6A (being the general rating for this size of cord) but could be up to 16A since the plug is designed to be used on Continental European distribution systems where local protection is generally a 16A fuse or circuit breaker. However for UK use, the standard BS 1362 fuse ratings are 3A 13A (although a range of other ratings does exist, but only 5A and 10A are in common circulation for replacement purposes). I would think that the 3A is the most appropriate in most instances for UK use. The above is the plug for which the adaptors to fit British sockets are designed, but the phrase Europlug has informally been applied to a wide variety of plugs, and some of these are the old CEE 7 dual earthing contact types (can't remember the CEE 7 Standard Sheet numbers as it is so long ago that I looked at the standard!) which have an essentially round cross-section. The new adaptors cannot accomodate the plugs with earthing contacts!

Is there any particular requirement/standard for individual or complete component? If by this you mean is there a standard for the adapter, the answer is yes, it is BS 5733:1995 Specification for general requirements for electrical accessories.

I'm not familiar enough with the non-UK plug standards to give you chapter and verse on this - IEC 83 defines the dimensions, but it is not a full test specification. Incidentally, I assume you are already aware that the plug adapter _must_ be approved? BSI and ASTA are not the only people who can do this - the DTI say any body Notified under the LVD can do it. (I'm not sure I agree with them, but that, in the context of this discussion, would be a digression.) 2. What is definition of Europlug cordset? I have some samples which are in fact of VDE approved cordset using in Germany. The two round pin plug, the mains cord and the figure 8 plug are all approved by VDE at least. Some other national agency marks are also marked on either plugs and cord. Is it qualified to meet Europlug cordset? As I mentioned earlier this week in a reply to another message on this forum, domestic plugs are outside the scope of the LVD so EU countries (and others, of course) are free to set down additional national requirements as they see fit. In practice I've never had trouble with a VDE marked cord set in any EU country. (This comment obviously only applies to two core cord sets- there are numerous three pin plug types.) 3. Does the figure 8 plug must have approval of BS 4491? Some samples have BS 4491 mark on the plug but most of them do not have. However, all have VDE approval mark on the plug. I doubt you will see any problems using a VDE cord set for this purpose in the UK so long as the cable has the HAR mark. I would expect to see this on any cable with a VDE approval. Despite first appearances, cord-set selection is definitely a non-trivial matter. I assume that you're dealing with the UK retail market, in which case I'm very familiar with the sort of problems you face. To avoid clutter on EMC-PSTC, drop me a line direct if you need more help.

Re: Autoclaves
For Europe, the safety standards will be EN 61010-1:1993 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use. General requirements plus one (or more) of EN 61010-2-041:1997 ( IEC 61010-2-041:1995) Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use. Particular requirements for autoclaves using steam for the treatment of medical materials, and for laboratory processes EN 61010-2-042:1997 ( IEC 61010-2-042:1997) Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use. Particular requirements for autoclaves and sterilizers using toxic gas for the treatment of medical materials, and for laboratory processes EN 61010-2-043:1998 ( IEC 61010-2-043:1997) Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use. Particular requirements for dry heat sterilizers using either hot air or hot inert gas for the treatment of medical materials, and for laboratory processes EMC standards I'm less familiar with so rather than advise you badly I will leave someone else to answer that bit. The equipment will be within the scope of the PED if any part operates at above 0.5bar (gauge) but if the classification under the PED is less than category II you can CE mark under the LVD and EMC Directives only and ignore the PED. If the PED classification is category II or higher you will need to use a PED notified body to help with CE marking, to a greater or lesser extent. There is the potential for the project to get complex and expensive quite quickly. Drop me a line if you need more help w.r.t the PED. Regards Nick.
