 Poland does require RFI testing only by a Polish certified lab.  There 
 are no commercial labs in the US.
 
 NEMKO is developing MOU's with several Eastern European countries 
 which are imposing mandatory testing.  Contact Morten Smith at NEMKO, 
 Oslo at 47 22 96 03 67 by phone, or Morten sm...@nemko.telemax.no by 
 e-mail.
 You can also call Grant Schmidbauer at NEMKO, US.  I belive his office 
 is in Carson City, but I don't have the phone number.

Someone suggested using NEMKO. I have worked with them and found them to be 
very customer oriented. NEMKO has an office in California. I don't have the 
number, but they do advertise a lot. Contact them to see it fhey have a test 
lab in the US. Obtain the necessary test reports from NEMKO and apply to 
Poland. Of course, check first with the Polish authorities.

 Yes, indeed China has imposed mandatory product safety licensing 
 effective Oct. 1, 1996 on additional categories.  I believe the first 
 listing was effective last year.  There are 38 products listed in the 
 "Second Catalogue of import commodities..." including the following 
 listing for Item 16. "Switching Power Supply:  Applies to switching 
 power supply units built in computer or not, including UPS, direct 
 plug-in adaptor (sic)" quoted from the translated catalogue.
 
 TšV Rheinland's Newtown, Connecticut office ( phone 203-426-0888 ) can 
 help you.  I believe Underwriters Laboratories also has information, 
 but I don't know which office.

The cover story of the September 1996 AEA INTERNATIONAL IMPACT
Newsletter is titled "Mandatory Safety Licensing Requirements in China as 
early as October 1,1996" It goes on further to state that the SACI (State 
Administration of Import and Export Commodity Inspection of China) will 
implement mandatory third party safety licensing requirements with an 
effectivity date of October 1,1996 for VCRs, personal computers, visual 
display units, printers, audio equipment and switching power supplies. Also,
18 additional products will be added with an effectivity date of October 1,1997.
 
 
Has anyone had experience with this? My concern is that "switching
power supplies" are covered by this requirement.
 
Does anyone know if there are other components covered by this
requirement? Does anyone have a complete list of all the covered equipments 
/ components? (I'm presently trying to obtain this from SACI).
 
Thanks,
