Inquiry for EMC lab test ability for Taiwan BSMI approved testing
Folks, I have received the following inquiry from one of our field folks that additional EMC tests are required to be done by BSMI approved laboratories for Taiwan. Can anyone familiar with the Taiwan BSMI approved testing labs for EMC compliance in Taiwan respond to some of the following questions? Is this testing mandatory only for specific product categories to Taiwan? If yes; what categories? Who is required to conduct another EMC test for Taiwan BSMI requirementseller or user? Does the testing have to follow CNS13438 inspection standards? What other standards are used to conduct the testing? Can BSMI testing be done in US? If yes, what labs? How long is the testing? What are the typical costs for BSMI testing? Also, how long it will take to get the report? Is a test report and a certificate from an EMC Competent Body Certificate acceptable to BSMI in lieu of added testing to BSMI requirements? Thanks for your anticipated responses.

Re: Chip noise halts Intel 820 motherboard
Barry, Thanks for the heads-up. Article was also published by AP in today's Boston Globe. The following excerpt is from the site you noted Regards, Paul J. Smith Teradyne, Boston Chip maker will replace motherboards using its 820 chip set due to noise caused by simultaneous switching of signals. Intel Corp. has acknowledged another setback for PCs using its 820 chip set. The company announced Wednesday morning that it will replace motherboards using its 820 chip set that are exhibiting symptoms of a problem with a related component -- called a memory translator hub, or MTH -- with synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM). While the hub is not part of the 820 itself, it is required on a motherboard that uses SDRAM. It enables the chip set, which was designed to work with Rambus dynamic RAM (RDRAM), to use less expensive, more readily available SDRAM. We have found that some systems ... may be sensitive to system board noise, an Intel spokesman said. Hangs and reboots The MTH problem, which manifests itself by system hangs and intermittent system reboots, is due to noise caused by simultaneous switching of signals on the MTH buses, Intel officials said. Intel is working with PC and motherboard makers to notify computer users of the problem and to offer a replacement motherboard. Intel plans to replace all the 820 motherboards with SDRAM support that it sold directly to customers with an Intel 820 chip set motherboard with RDRAM memory. Computer users who believe they are affected should contact their manufacturers, or they can check Intel's Web site, where they can download the MTH ID Utility to test for the presence of the hub. The MTH support site also includes additional information on the problems. We believe less than 1 million boards with the MTH have been shipped to customers, an Intel spokesman said. However, since we have determined no root cause on this issue, we have decided to offer a replacement.

Can anybody be more specific or just make a speculation by using EMC language? Another question is irrelevant to EMC. I am wondering why it took so long - five months from field failure report to recreating the problem inside INTEL?

The success of the Northeast Product Safety Society is based on the specialized focus of product safety engineers sharing information in a forum dedicated to product safety.

For more information visit http://www.nepss.org NPSS enjoys a great relationship with the New England Chapter of the the IEEE EMC Society holding a joint meetng every Sept for the last five years. Up to approx. 25% of each organization are members of both organizations, however, the majority of each organization seems to prefer a dedicated forum and both forums are always open to everyone. After 12 years of independent success I don't know if NPSS members would join a IEEE Product Safety Society, but it is fact/history that a majority of the local product safety engineers were never interested in joining the IEEE EMC Society. --- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.

Re: GROUND COLOR CODE FOR CE MARK (EN60204-1)

Re: LVD Production Line Tests
Kevin and Group, If I understand your comments correctly; if we declare to the LVD using a EN61010-1 certification instead of EN 60950, then the 25 Amp production test described in EN 50116 is not required. Of course, it is assumed that EN 61010-1 is the appropriate standard for the product category in question. Is there agreement, then that products NOT specifically certified to EN 60950 require that production line continuity ground tester is only an appropriate continuity device such as an ohmmeter , with buzzer or warning device with no specific mention of current or time?

RE: year in which the CE mark was affixed marked on Declaration of Conformity
Alan, Why not use the dated signature of the authorized senior personnel on the D of C meet this year code specification on the document?It would seem correct to use that date since it generally is the first time that the product is CE marked to be placed on the EU market. Please comment Paul J. Smith Compliance Engineer Teradyne, Inc. Boston Alan Brewster abrews...@ccsemc.com on 08/04/99 05:51:38 PM Please respond to Alan Brewster abrews...@ccsemc.com To: 'Chuck Seyboldt' cbo...@nlis.net, EMC-PSTC Discussion Group emc-p...@ieee.org cc:(bcc: Paul J Smith/Bos/Teradyne) Subject: RE: The meaning of Affixed Greetings, The need to have the last two digits of the year in which the CE mark was affixed marked on the Declaration of Conformity is simply to make the job of enforcement officers simpler. It is bourne out of the very nature and application of the LVD in that there are many electrical products that have been in serial production since the introduction of the Directive in the early seventies. During my four years as a Notified Body signatory in the UK, I saw many products that also followed a fashion cycle. It is not unusual for items such as lighting products to lie dormant for a number of years e.g.: the Lava Lamp. There is some confusion about the format of the use of the last two digits. my advice has always been to find space in the middle of the page and put 99. Whilst this looks odd it follows, to the letter, the requirement and again it is worth remembering that the intended audience for D of C's are the enforcement folks. The D of C should not be changed from year to year. The only reason for doing this would be if the product was revised, or the source of manufacture was changed to sufficiently need the re-definition of the product. This might be the case for a retailer who was sourcing an item from a new factory each season. I hope that this is of interest.

Directive 73/23/EEC is hereby amended as follows: . . . ANNEX III CE CONFORMITY MARKING AND EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY . . . B. EC declaration of conformity The EC declaration of conformity must contain the following elements: . . . - the last two digits of the year in which the CE marking was affixed. I recognize that this requirement is a formality but I am interested in understanding how to comply, particularly when the goods are produced substantially unchanged, year after year. One could argue that affixing of the CE mark means affixing the CE mark to the goods, and that a new declaration is to be prepared at least once per year, in order that the proper year is recited on the declaration. But, I have seen DofC's that clearly are not done in this fashion. For example, Allen Bradley keeps a series of DofC's online - and for currently produced goods, the latest year appearing on one DofC is 1995. Obviously, it is easier to NOT revisit the DofC in the case of series production. Naturally, a freshly prepared and dated DofC can be expected when a new model is introduced, or a change in an existing model is made that requires a technical re-evaluation (e.g. a design change that warrants updating the design justification in the Technical File), but is it the intent of the subject 93/68/EEC amendments to create an obligation to create annually dated DofC's for each year that series production is undertaken? It is interesting that the Low Voltage Directive has this requirement, and Directive 93/68/EEC also likewise amended these Directives . . . Directive 87/404/EEC (relating to simple pressure vessels) Directive 89/686/EEC (relating to Personal Protective Equipment) Directive 90/384/EEC (relating to non-automatic weighing instruments) Directive 90/396/EEC (relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels) Directive 92/42/EEC (relating to Boilers) . . . but the recent Pressure Equipment Directive, 97/23/EC, does not have a requirement to include the last two digits of the year in which the CE mark was affixed on the DofC. Does anybody here know the original intended purpose for including the year of affixing requirement? Thanks in advance for your insights - on this decidedly non-technical matter.
