[PSES] harmonics flicker
I am trying to find the driving requirement for ITE to be tested to 61000-3-2 and 61000-3-3 (harmonics flicker). For test measurement equipment 61326 clearly states the requirement, but I cannot find the equivalent statement in 55022/4 nor can I find it in the EMC directive. Anybody help?

Dave You are not required to be compliant with standards – you are required to be compliant with the protection requirements of the EMC Directive.

Re: [PSES] harmonics flicker
Charlie, Yours and John Woodgate's responses tell me what I already know - but don't answer the fundamental question, of why there is not a legally enforceable document (and the EMC Directive Guide is not), that tells the uninitiated what standards their equipment needs to comply with, if they are using the harmonised stds route? Can they reasonably be expected to read the scope of every harmonised std? Why did the writers of 61326 feel it necessary to include reference to 610003-3-2 3-3, but the writers of 55022 did not?

Dave, Your main point is true, but consider this : 1) There are many thousands of products on the world market that are sold within the EU. Each can be slightly different or vastly different from each other. 2) Even sight differences in application and use could force you to look at other standards. 3) Even if the EU produced legally enforced guidelines for all the combinations above, finding the guideline in the first place would still be a huge job.

Re: [PSES] Lab Needed for 17025 Accredited Calibration for Davis Weather Station
Hi Derek! Thanks for the input / feedback - will look into the alternate way of demonstrating compliance to the traceability requirements. Here is the excerpt from TIA 603 D 1.4.5 Standard Atmospheric Conditions The standard atmospheric condition is a temperature of 25 °C at an atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa (1013 mbar). Measurements, however, may be carried out at any combination of temperature, pressure, and relative humidity within the following limits: Temperature: 20 °C to 35 °C Relative Humidity: 45% to 75% Atmospheric Pressure: 860 hPa to 1060 hPa (860 mbar to 1060 mbar) We are accredited to this standard by A2LA. Think the main problem with the weather station seems to be the rain gage and a few of the other measurement capabilities of the device. Think can live with limited cal to accredited parameters and find a good lab out there. BTW - I get the lazy way but my experience has been that defining what it is that you need and developing procurement requirements that are followed by the accredited calibration labs can be somewhat of a challenge!

Re: [PSES] harmonics flicker
There are not that much standards applicable to each and every product, unless you never read the list. If you do not know which standard is applicable, one also can opt for the generic standards set. The phenomena based approach is imho the way if you cannot afford the use of a consultant. So in order of best results: 1. Ask a consultant 2. search for an applicable standard for harmonics and flicker (4 exist 16 and 16 amp) 3. search the scope of harmonized standards for the best fit for emissions 4. search the scope of harmonized standards for best fit for immunity 5. Be aware that sometime 34 are 2 different standards, and sometimes 34 are in one standard 6. Verify you actually selected the applicable version (LOOK at the DATE in the list , newest is not always best). 7. Verify you found and read all valid amendments ad corrigenda 8. Search Google for a DoC for a similar product and copy; you will probably end up with an obsolete list 9. Now you are really confused: go back to 1. Yours truly Regards, Ing.

Re: [PSES] Semi-Anechoic Chamber Question - Correction Factor
Go back, way back, to the paper by pate, german, smith, on the NSA. Go through all the details and calculations and surmise that there is the direct path, and the reflected path. The reflected path adds, or not, to the direct path, depending on wavelength (phase at receive antenna) and distance between antennas. A scan up to 4 meters will generally cover the apparent phase shift at the lower frequencies such that a maximum is recorded. This scan will certainly cover the apparent phase shift of higher freq's. The reflected wave verses the direct wave, will have a longer distance and thus a little more loss. In the worst case, it can be neglected. It will also suffer some loss at the reflecting surface, generally assumed to be a perfect boundary since it is unknown but defined as metal. Thus, the received voltage received via a direct path added with a reflected path, assuming no distance or reflection loss, would be 6 dB higher than the direct path alone. This direct path alone is the assumed field measured in a FAC, neglecting any chamber anomalies. Or is it 3 dB higher?? as in power?
