 Having read through most of the responses as of this writing, and finding,
 as
 expected, very valid and well positioned recommendations and suggestions,
 I
 submit that if this is intended to be a dummy intended to make people
 believe
 that it is what it is supposed to be, even if it is not, then a CE Marking
 and
 other labels may be required to complete the ruse.  If, as some of our
 colleagues believe that CE Marking and claiming compliance to LVD or EMC
 is not
 valid and should not be done, then treat the dummy as it is and claim
 compliance
 to the Toys Directive and mark the product with a CE Marking.

  pose it to all of you.  First some preamble. A device is going to be

  like the real thing but it is not. The only electronics inside is a
 bridge
  rectifier and a RC circuit to blink a LED. The device can be powered by
  either an AC or DC source up to 30 V. The power source is not supplied.
 For
  this industry (security) there is a product family standard for EMC. The
  device is not a mock up for store display purposes but is in fact used
 in
  the industry to give the impression that there are more of these devices
  around than there really are.
 
  So the moment has arrived, do you CE mark the device? If you say yes,
 what
  directive did you apply? If you say no, what is your reasoning?

A friend has asked me about the relevant European standard(s) used for data

recommend the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). Is
this the correct and most applicable standards organization? Can someone

Re: 950 Pollution degree detirmination

2001-04-09 Thread Robert Johnson


The following is from IEC TC74's document 74/585/NP on Equipment 
Installed Outdoors, a proposed supplement to IEC 60950.

It has not been adopted, but give an idea of the current thinking in TC74.
IPX6 is not addressed, but reference is made back to IEC 60950 for 
Pollution degree 1.
It looks like this is a matter for negotiation with your certification 
agency.

9 Protection of equipment within an outdoor enclosure
9.1 Protection from moisture
The OUTDOOR ENCLOSURE shall provide adequate protection from the effect 
of moisture on the enclosed equipment. Examples of constructions 
regarded as meeting the requirements are shown in table 2.
NOTE 1 - This does not preclude OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT being constructed with 
segmented volumes, each providing a different Pollution Degree.
NOTE 2 - For consideration of the effects of the presence of conductive 
pollution, as opposed to non-conductive pollution which may become 
conductive only due to the presence of moisture, see the relevant 
requirements in IEC 60529.


Table 2 - Examples of the application of enclosures to provide protection
1. The use of an ENCLOSURE meeting the IPX4 or the Annex B requirements 
relating to the ingress of water is considered to provide a Pollution 
Degree 3 environment within the ENCLOSURE.
2. Control of the Pollution Degree 3 environment to Pollution Degree 2 
can be accomplished by either:

- providing continuous energization of the enclosed equipment; or
- providing separate heating within the OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT or OUTDOOR 
ENCLOSURE; or

- the use of an ENCLOSURE meeting IP54.
3. Further control of the environment at the insulation surface to 
Pollution Degree 1 can be accomplished by the methods in IEC 60950-1, 
for example, encapsulation, potting or coating.


Where necessary, the ENCLOSURE of OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT shall be provided 
with drain holes to control the accumulation of moisture due to:

- entrance of water through openings; and
- condensation, when this is likely to occur (for example, keeping the 
equipment energized or separately heating the equipment is considered to 
keep it free of condensation).
The provision of drain holes and their location shall be taken into 
consideration when determining the IP rating.
Compliance is checked by inspection and, if necessary, by the relevant 
tests of IEC 60529 or annex B.
Prior to testing, the equipment shall be mounted, so far as is 
reasonably practicable, according to the manufacturer's installation 
instructions. If fans or other means for ventilation are provided, which 
could affect the ingress of water, the test shall be conducted with the 
ventilation means both ON and OFF unless it is evident that one of 
the modes of operation will produce the most onerous result.

At the conclusion of the test the following conditions shall exist:
-For OUTDOOR ENCLOSURES - no water shall have entered the ENCLOSURE.
-For OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT - water is permitted to enter the ENCLOSURE 
provided it does not:
.. deposit on insulation where it could lead to tracking along the 
creepage distance,
.. deposit on bare live parts or wiring, or on windings not designed to 
operate when wet,

or
.. enter any supply wiring space, see IEC 60950-1, 3.2.9.
9.2 Protection from plants and vermin...


Massey, Doug C. wrote:


Hello group -

In the -950 series standards, three Pollution Degrees are defined for
detirming insulation coordination. For instance, in EN60950 3rd Ed., clause
2.10.1 defines Pollution Degree 1  for components and subassemblies which
are sealed so as to exclude dust and moisture (see 2.10.7). Clause 2.10.7
gives test requirements for temp cycling, humidity, and electric strength
tests, although compliance to the clause is given as ...inspection from the
outside, measurement, and, if necessary, by test.

I would like to use Pollution Degree 1 when evaluating a product that has a
dust and water ingress rating of IP66 per IEC - 60529, Degrees of protection
provided by enclosures (IP Code) . The product itself is intended for use in
a Pollution Degree 3 environment, but the creepages and clearances inside
the unit are subject to Pollution Degree 1, thanks to the protection
provided by the enclosure.

Is the IEC-60529 report, showing a IP rating of IP66, adequate to satisfy
the requirements of 2.10.1  2.10.7 for using Pollution Degree 1 when
assessing clearance and creepage ?

Thanks in advance.

FCC, radar detectors and NOAA

2001-04-09 Thread Roger Babineau x 240

I'm running into an interesting dilemma.

We have been shipping automotive radar detectors without FCC certification
based on the rule 15.103 (a) Exempted Devices because they are a digital
device utilized exclusively in any transportation vehicle including motor
vehicles and aircraft. 
We are now adding a NOAA scanning receiver to these detectors.  Several
questions come up...
1) Are we still exempt based on the above rule 15.103?
2) If we are not exempt, then under what rule do we now apply?
3) Given the fact that the local oscillator on the radar detector is around
11GHz, do we need to test up to that range even if the radio receiver is at
a much lower frequency and the radar portion is supposed to be exempt?
4) Most importantly, have we been making the wrong assumption from the start
and the radar detectors should have been tested all along?

Appreciate the feedback...
ROG

Hi All,

Does anyone in this forum knows where is the best site to find information
on safety and EMC standards related to wireless radio products for
compliance in various countries such as:


Spain, Russia, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay,
Colombia, and others.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info.

I am surprised that they (RCIC) didn't post that information themselves .. .

I'm sure there's a good reason . . .

 When updating a declaration, as in this case, what is the accepted
 practice create a new Declaration with the additional standards referenced
 or amending the previous one.  
 I have always created a new one.  Is there any argument for one over the 
 other?

 More correctly, equipment under 75W is exempt from test, but not exempt
 from
 the standard. The standard must still be listed on the Declaration.
 Regarding EN 61000-3-3, Clause 6.1 says, Tests shall not be made on
 equipment which is unlikely to produce significant voltage fluctuations or
 flicker. Again, the standard must be listed on the Declaration.

RE: Israeli Compliance Requirements?

2001-04-09 Thread Peter Merguerian

Paul Hello,

I assume your product is ITE with no telecom interfaces. For telecom
products the
Israel Ministry of Communications is the address. ITL can help in all
telecom product
approvals.

1. For ITE (no telecoms) , you or importer needs to get in touch with the
Israel Ministry of
Industry and Trade to see if you could get exemptions for your products
from being tested at SII (Standards Institution of Israel). An exemption may
be
given based on CB Test Reports and EMC test reports from accredited labs.

2. If products need to be tested by SII, the applicable standard is IS1121
which also 
includes emc. The standard is harmonized with the IEC 950 (third edition as
of May
of next month).

3. SII cost for getting approval. Cost for full testing could be up to
$3000 (safety + emc) but it all depends on the product.

4. ITL can help you process the SII submittal for tests and certification.

If you need additional help, please contact me.
