CCC Parts Certifications and Periodic Verification
Good morning list members, We currently have 3 lists of ‘critical’ parts from CQC for our ATMs going through the CCC certification process: 1. Parts Modules Requiring CCC Certification These are ATM parts and modules which have already been identified by CQC as requiring CCC certification at the module level – currently being worked by the suppliers. 2) Parts Modules Indentified in CQC Product Test Reports These are ATM parts and modules which have or will be identified by CQC during ATM product testing as safety critical items which will be called out in the product CQC approval report and which require to remain on the current supplier until further suppliers can be approved through CQC 3) Parts Modules which Require to Meet China National Standards These are ATM parts and modules which NCR will be required to demonstrate that it can verify ongoing compliance of the part to China National Standards through supplier provided data. Could I ask any of you who have been involved in this process before to spare a few minutes to advise (off or online) on any experience you have on handling parts lists like explained above, the various CCC parts categories, how you learn of new categories, and also how you meet the CQC ongoing parts compliance verification process requirements.

RE: What's the deal with Wire Nuts?
Brian, The use of wire nuts on short wire pigtails in a wiring box for connection to the building wiring is primarily a North American wiring method. You can deduce this by looking at the marks on the box that they came in. They most likely have listing marks for the US, Canada, and/or Mexico, and wire sizes are in “AWG”. If, on the other hand, you saw the CE Mark or wire sizes posted in “mm2”, or some other international certification markings, you would have evidence that the use of those wire nuts is an acceptable wiring method elsewhere. More evidence of this can be seen in national deviations found in Annex NAE of UL 60950-1/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1 vs.the group deviations of EN 60950-1. UL/CSA 69050-1, Annex NAE 3.2.3 describes leads for field wiring connections to be not smaller than 150 mm (6 inches) in length, making reference to sections of the National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. Annex NAE 3.2.9 further describes box volume calculations required by the NEC and Canadian Electrical Code for the number of conductors being connected in a wiring box, normally by wire nuts.On the other hand, EN 60950-1 has no such deviations or notations. However, written into the body of the IEC 60950-1 and EN 60950-1 (and other national derivative standards) is a wiring method for permanent connection to the mains not acceptable in the US and Canada – the use of a non-detachable power supply cord for permanent connection. The most universally accepted means for permanent connection to the mains is to use a field wiring terminal block with a current rating 125 % of the current rating of the product it is installed in, certified for the country of deployment. In conjunction, holes should be supplied nearby for accommodation of a conduit system or cable-securing glands.

Scott, Does the 60950 standard give examples of what would satisfy the “two independent fixings” requirement? How would a terminal block satisfy this? I have heard that a wire nut can be used for the electrical connection, but you have to also mechanically hold the wires together which can be done with a cable tie. No where have I found this documented, though.

Hello Other Brian, That is a term I have heard from years gone by. A standard does not specifically prohibit them however if you look at IEC 60950 para 3.1.9 it would be difficult to use wire nut that met the requirements of two independent fixings.

The device which has the wire nuts (twist-on wire connectors) is a water chiller used as a peripheral for a piece of laboratory equipment to be sold internationally. The manufacturer is not used to making laboratory equipment, but industrial cooling devices in the US where it maybe acceptable to use wire nuts. Looking at the IEC/EN 61010-1 standard I cannot see any specific requirement for redundant captive device or redundant connection. I do see a statement in 10.5.3b regarding “insulation which supports the TERMINALS shall be made of material that will not soften” due to dissipated heat from current through the connection. I assume that if the plastic cap of a wire nut gets hot from current passing through the connection and softens then the connection will become loose. Some wire nuts are all plastic and the larger ones have a copper spring inside. In either case, it is the plastic that secures the connection. On a crimp type connection (such as a spade lug or crimp splice), even though they have a plastic case, the electrical connection is made from a metal part which is not likely to soften. It would be nice if there was a clear statement (chapter and verse) documenting if wire nuts can be used in Europe or not or some kind of interpretation letter. The Other Brian From: scott barrows
RE: MEPS requirements for Australia/New Zealand
Yes the MEPS information does provide a guide to what is in scope. http://www.energyrating.gov.au/eps2.html A single output external power supply which is covered by MEPS is defined as a unit which: 1. has an input from mains supply (usually 110 V, 60 Hz; 230 V, 50 Hz; 240 V, 50 Hz or a range including some or all of these input conditions); and 2. has one ELV output (either a.c. or d.c.) that is either at a fixed voltage or user selectable through a selector switch; and 3. is sold with, or intended to be used with, a separate end-use product that constitutes the primary load; and 4. is contained in a separate physical enclosure from the end-use product (i.e. the housings of the power supply and its associated product are different, not their retail packaging); and 5. is connected to the end use product via a hard-wired or removable male/female electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring; and 6. does not have batteries or battery packs that physically attach directly to the power supply unit (including those that are removable e.g. a battery pack for a portable electric drill); and 7. does not have a battery chemistry or type selector switch and an indicator light or state of charge meter.

AW: Brazil - machinery with electrical controls
Hi Nick, we have a Market Access Guide - Machine Safety Requirements in Brazil in our compliance database. Brief description: 1. Currently no mandatory machine safety requirements are exist. Reference: Curt Miller, Brazil Machinery Builders´Association (ABIMAQ) and How to export to Brazil (Practical Guide to the Brazilian Importing Process) http://www.braziltradenet.gov.br/ARQUIVOS/Publicacoes/Manuais/PUBCEXBrasilI. pdf 2. Only OSHA regulations are mandatory (similar to 29 CFR 1910 in the states). Therefore an inspection before putting into service is mandatory. 3. Minimum state of the art for the importer: European Machinery Directive, CE-Marking will be accepted. Therefore the following standards are a good choice: ISO 14121-1, ISO 13849-1 or IEC 62061, IEC 60204-1, ISO 12100-1/-2, ISO 13850, ... 4. Brazil will publish machine safety regulations within the next 1-2 years (wait and see...). 5. Standards: Associacao Brasileira de Normas Technicas (ABNT), ABNT/CB-04 Maquinas e equipamentos mecanicos (Standards for machines and mechanical equipment). But normally this standards haven´t a practical acceptation. I hope this information are useful. If you need more details contact me directly, please.

Others have already provided you with links to the Australian government sites providing all the information you should need so I will not add to that. I would however, just draw your attention to the statement in the 'Fact Sheet' (i.e. www.energyrating.gov.au/library/pubs/2008-factsheet-eps.pdf http://www.energyrating.gov.au/library/pubs/2008-factsheet-eps.pdf ) concerning proposed amendments to AS/NZS 4665 Parts 1 2 which the Fact Sheet states are currently in the approval process (see in particular the statement at the bottom of page 2 of the Fact Sheet). These amendments, as described on pages 3 4 of the Fact Sheet, are not actually in the 'approval process' really. They are actually still to be balloted by the relevant Australian standards committee however, the information provided concerning what these amendments are likely to ultimately contain probably will not change too much before they are accepted. The background and reason for these amendments can be found at http://www.energyrating.gov.au/pubs/2008-meps-eps-update.pdf http://www.energyrating.gov.au/pubs/2008-meps-eps-update.pdf .
