[PSES] RED vs. RTTE - most important difference

2017-09-24 Thread Amund Westin
As manufacturer, what would you consider as the most important / challenging 
difference, when going from RTTE to RED?

Re: [PSES] Marking on Remote Controls

2017-09-24 Thread Scott Douglas
Received only a few replies to this question, but thank you to those 
that did respond. I am inclined to agree with JW and put just the CE 
Mark and Wheelie Bin on the remote and leave off everything else.

I agree; remote control units are seldom extensively marked. Annex F 
of IEC/EN 62368-1 is very comprehensive but silent on this subject. 
Safety marking is probably not required in Europe because the voltage 
is too low for the LVD to apply, But the CE mark (for EMCD and RoHS) 
and the recycling bin mark appear to be necessary.

*Subject:* [PSES] Marking on Remote Controls

Hi All,

We have a dilemma. We are making a new high-end remote control similar 
to those used with your TV or cable box or DVR, etc. I am asked what 
compliance markings are required to be on the outside of the remote 
control. The case is textured a bit and pad printing will be 
problematic. Thinking the usual ITE kind of stuff I said the model 
name, FCC and IC ID, company name, address, CE Mark, wheelie bin, and 
so on.


But I just surveyed 8 or 10 remotes in our PV lab from the big names 
in TV's and blue-ray players, etc. The markings ran the gamut from 
nothing to company name and model number, just a wheelie bin, one had 
a CE mark and wheelie bin. None had FCC orIC ID's, none had safety 
agency logos, and none had sticky labels with this kind of info.


We are willing to put all of this in a manual or paper insert in 
the box if necessary. But what can we legally get away without 
printing on the remote?


Looking forward to the interesting replies from this august body. And 
many thanks in advance for your comments.


Scott
