Re: [PSES] German Required on Product Label to Match China and Nordic for (GS) ?

Clause F.1 of 62368-1 says:

/Unless symbols are used, safety related equipment marking, instructions 
and instructional

safeguards shall be in a language accepted in the respective countries./

No doubt Germany expects German.

Dear EMC-PSTC Pros,

Specific to ITE IEC 62368-1 type standards and German GS 
certification. (many power supplies and ITE product carry GS mark)


Is German language required on products to match the text of other 
countries requirement to obtain German GS?


And (not or) add a statement that non-German text is not important to 
Germany?


China elevation and humidity waring is written into law and is very 
clear. Is there an equivalent German law and or specific German text?

Nordic countries grounded plug warning, is specific to national

62368-1:2014, is it there?

Standard does state to provide safety information and instruction in

been the case for decades.


A recent GS certification was held up until compliance with adding 
text.  They are marking other countries requirements de facto German

there many GS issuers. I would have expected PSTC to be lit up

[PSES] AW: [PSES] Friday Question - Line Cords in China

2023-08-15 Thread Dürrer Bernd
Hi Chuck,

my understanding of the Chinese regulation for CCC is that it is only 
applicable to finished products that are listed in the catalogue (like an 
external switch mode power supply that may be brought to market as a separate 
product) or parts of finished products that are accessible to the end user 
(like cord and plug). Therefore I assume that CCC is not required for internal 
switch mode power supplies that are not accessible to the user during normal 
use. In case of doubt, I recommend to check with your local representative or 
distributor/importer in China.

Kind regards,

Bernd

Thank you, Bernd.
I suspected that is the law but had no citation to refer to.

What about internal switch mode power supplies?
Should they have CCC as it is a requirement for that category code?

Betreff: [PSES] Friday Question - Line Cords in China

[EXTERNAL E-MAIL] This email originated from outside of the organization. Do 
not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender.
All,

I was talking with a client recently about shipping line cords to various 
countries around the world and how some do not allow the incorrect cords within 
a shipment while others do. Brazil, as far as I know, does not permit incorrect 
cordage. Argentina, Australia, and China (PRC) are all mutually exclusive. 
South Africa and India are mutually exclusive. Japan, Taiwan, and the United 
States are all mutually exclusive. If not prohibited, it is frequently cheaper 
to include multiple cords rather than create multiple regional SKUs when 
products are in low-volume production.

That said, apparently the China market often likes to use US-style receptacles 
(types A or B), even though they use 220 V (). The US-style plug has better 
density (twice as many receptacles in the same space as the China receptacle 
(Type C, or I ?), and with the US receptacles, there are many more aftermarket 
cable options available.  So I suppose that's my question: "Is this usage 
typical in China?"

Of course, the big issue is that the US plug is not rated for the higher 
voltages, even though historically some people may say it works.  I even fouind 
a website that shows this, 
https://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/electricity.htm

I believe it is critical for manufacturers to not condone the use of the US 
plug in this manner, which appears to be common practice. And I usually advise 
that this type of usage should never be described, recommended, or mentioned in 
any manuals, brochures, or other written material produced by a company, either 
externally or internally. If anyone is injured and an investigation reveals 
agreement with this usage, the company may be held liable.

Thoughts??

Yes, I have had China Customs open a shipment of 10 powered speakers and find 
one power cord was not from an approved manufacture on our critical components

We were short one cord set so I had used an engineering sample… Had right plug

Customs returned the shipment to USA as non compliant.

How would the customs folks in those countries check appliance line cords ?   
Do they open boxes, pull contents, and inspect?

If the USA plug is not rated for higher voltage, does it really present a

Re: [PSES] Friday Question - Line Cords in China

Manufacturers cannot side-step liability by claiming ignorance.  The 
manufacture is solely responsible for any product they place on the market, 
with or without the correct power cord.

I believe you are correct.  

 

Simply shipping the wrong cord types to certain locations is actually 
prohibited, and in general, including incorrect types could be viewed as 
endorsement of their use in other areas. A thing that should be simple, now 
gets complicated.

 

On occasion, I've heard manufacturers say things like "I've heard of this but 
have no official knowledge that it's true", as a way to side step liability. 
I'm not certain this is considered a valid argument, should someone be injured.

 

While it's convenient and sometimes cost effective to make shipping kits more 
generic, I usually recommend including in BOMs some indicator of the ISO 
Alpha-2 or ISO Alpha-3 country code and make kits so the correct materials are 
included for the location involved.

 

I find that, although seemingly simple, it's very easy to get tripped up over 
such matters. I've also had difficulty in the past with multi-language 
labeling, i.e. combined language labels. In certain countries people become 
offended if the wrong language is on products along side their own language. In 
this case I'm thinking of a 4-language label I once used.

All,

 

I was talking with a client recently about shipping line cords to various 
countries around the world and how some do not allow the incorrect cords within 
a shipment while others do. Brazil, as far as I know, does not permit incorrect 
cordage. Argentina, Australia, and China (PRC) are all mutually exclusive. 
South Africa and India are mutually exclusive. Japan, Taiwan, and the United 
States are all mutually exclusive. If not prohibited, it is frequently cheaper 
to include multiple cords rather than create multiple regional SKUs when 
products are in low-volume production.

 

That said, apparently the China market often likes to use US-style receptacles 
(types A or B), even though they use 220 V (). The US-style plug has better 
density (twice as many receptacles in the same space as the China receptacle 
(Type C, or I ?), and with the US receptacles, there are many more aftermarket 
cable options available.  So I suppose that's my question: "Is this usage 
typical in China?"

 

Of course, the big issue is that the US plug is not rated for the higher 
voltages, even though historically some people may say it works.  I even fouind 
a website that shows this, 
https://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/electricity.htm

 

I believe it is critical for manufacturers to not condone the use of the US 
plug in this manner, which appears to be common practice. And I usually advise 
that this type of usage should never be described, recommended, or mentioned in 
any manuals, brochures, or other written material produced by a company, either 
externally or internally. If anyone is injured and an investigation reveals 
agreement with this usage, the company may be held liable.

 

Thoughts??

How would the customs folks in those countries check appliance line cords ?   
Do they open boxes, pull contents, and inspect?

 

If the USA plug is not rated for higher voltage, does it really present a 
hazard ?  (compliance vs safety)  The USA/Canadian plugs have a LOTS of 
creepage distance between conductors.

 It maybe cheaper/less custom issues if local distributor can purchase line 
cord from the local market. Power supply should be certified for the country it 
is used in.
Yes Brazil and South Africa line chord certification Leadtime are long and 
costly.
Australia also has some conditions for shipping power supply with equipment.

conclusion that ALL of the cords are suitable for use. Did I get that right?

[PSES] Friday Question - Line Cords in China

2023-08-11 Thread Douglas Powell
All,

I was talking with a client recently about shipping line cords to various
countries around the world and how some do not allow the incorrect cords
within a shipment while others do. Brazil, as far as I know, does not
permit incorrect cordage. Argentina, Australia, and China (PRC) are all
mutually exclusive. South Africa and India are mutually exclusive. Japan,
Taiwan, and the United States are all mutually exclusive. If not
prohibited, it is frequently cheaper to include multiple cords rather than
create multiple regional SKUs when products are in low-volume production.

That said, apparently the China market often likes to use US-style
receptacles (types A or B), even though they use 220 V (). The US-style
plug has better density (twice as many receptacles in the same space as the
China receptacle (Type C, or I ?), and with the US receptacles, there are
many more aftermarket cable options available.  So I suppose that's my
question: "Is this usage typical in China?"

Of course, the big issue is that the US plug is not rated for the higher
voltages, even though historically some people may say it works.  I even
fouind a website that shows this,
https://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/electricity.htm

I believe it is critical for manufacturers to not condone the use of the US
plug in this manner, which appears to be common practice. And I usually
advise that this type of usage should never be described, recommended, or
mentioned in any manuals, brochures, or other written material produced by
a company, either externally or internally. If anyone is injured and an
investigation reveals agreement with this usage, the company may be held
liable.

Thoughts??

Re: [PSES] China package and shipping labels

2022-07-06 Thread Bill Owsley
 speculation, china will ship anything, that you ask for to be labelled.
Ir is the import requirements that are important.
And you are responsible to ensure that the labeling is correct.
Sucks to be you !!!
I spent several years in US customs monitoring programs because of a lack of 
attention to such details.
Our people on the ground figured out a way, without any involvement from higher 
up.
No idea how they do it.

Re: [PSES] China Country of Origin Requirements

2020-07-21 Thread Kapur, Ken
I have been seeing increased enforcement to ensure products have the 
appropriate Country of Origin (COO)  labeling on electrical products as well as 
accessories and chemical products sold on the market.  There seems to be a lot 
of variation with how COO labeling is conducted and countries such as China and 
Korea want to ensure it is correct along with USA FTC (Federal Trade 
Commission) requirements.

We haven’t run into Chinese COO requirements yet, but we pretty religiously

Re: [PSES] [EXTERNAL] [PSES] Does Hong Kong require same EMC/Safety/RoHS approvals and labeling as China?

2019-11-19 Thread Ted Eckert
Hello Monrad,

Hong Kong still has a completely separate regulatory regime from China. You 
will likely find importing to Hong Kong far simpler than Chinese approvals. As 
far as I am aware, most products will not require marking for Hong Kong. It 
will likely require minimal work if you don't have radios in the products.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PSES] Does Hong Kong require same EMC/Safety/RoHS 
approvals and labeling as China?

Does Hong Kong require the same EMC/Safety/RoHS approvals and labeling as 
China?  My focus is on regulation of automated data processing products like 
servers, PCs, disk arrays, switches, power distribution units (PDUs) and rack 
integrated systems.  For example, China requires that servers and PCs be 
labeled with a CCC mark for EMC & Safety and also Environment Friendly Use 
Period (EFUP) labeling for RoHS.  Is this required for Hong Kong as well?

Of course, Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region under the People's 
Republic of China since 1 July 1997, but they have a "high degree of autonomy" 
in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the subsequent 50 years.  
The products I support already have CCC & EFUP labeling and approvals so the 
topic has not come up until now when we might be importing a few 3rd party 
products into Hong Kong.

Thanks.

[PSES] China RoHS

2017-11-02 Thread Dan Roman
Hello List Members,

 

China has released their first catalog of equipment for RoHS.  Previously
the China RoHS 2 regulations in China put just about everything in scope
with some exemptions for categories like space, power, military equipment,
etc. which was very similar to EU RoHS.

 

Categories that are called out in the first catalog were products that were
in scope already with the RoHS 2 regulation release.  What's different or
has to be done differently for equipment that is in the catalog versus
everything else that is already in scope?

 

There was an exemption list published recently as well that looks a lot like
the EU RoHS exemptions.  Not sure if that has anything to do with the
catalog or when that comes into effect.

 

Can anyone who is on top of the China RoHS latest happenings fill me in?

[PSES] China medical Device EMC standard

2017-03-16 Thread Charlie Blackham
All

My understanding is that current standard for China is  "YY 0505-2012", which 
is based on 2nd edition IEC 60601-1-2:2004.

Europe and North America currently require compliance with (versions of) 3rd 
edition IEC60601-1-2:2007, and will be moving to 4th edition in 2018.

I have couple of questions:

  *   Does China accept a report against IEC 2nd edition that references later 
basic (61000-4-x) standards?
  *   Are there plans for China to move to using 3rd or 4th editions?

Thanks

Esteemed body of knowledge,

Today I learned about a China customs regulations requiring UN38.3 T1-T8 
certification for all lithium batteries: Lithium-ion, Lithium-polymer, and 
lithium-metal. This is applicable to single use as well as rechargeable 
batteries. The certifications cannot be manufactures self-declarations, they 
need to be a third party certificates.

IATA/ICAO have the UN38.3 requirements for air shipments of rechargeable 
lithium batteries and they accept manufactures self-declarations.

Has anyone seen this requirement, know of the regulation that generated this 
requirement, have a source of this requirement? Any information is helpful.

[PSES] China Lithium battery regulations

2013-09-11 Thread Gartman, W. Richard
Esteemed body of knowledge,

Today I learned about a China customs regulations requiring UN38.3 T1-T8 
certification for all lithium batteries: Lithium-ion, Lithium-polymer, and 
lithium-metal. This is applicable to single use as well as rechargeable 
batteries. The certifications cannot be manufactures self-declarations, they 
need to be a third party certificates.

IATA/ICAO have the UN38.3 requirements for air shipments of rechargeable 
lithium batteries and they accept manufactures self-declarations.

Has anyone seen this requirement, know of the regulation that generated this 
requirement, have a source of this requirement? Any information is helpful.

Hi Richard,

Yes, we have been dealing with this for awhile.  For China shipments, the 
testing must be done by one of the government approved labs.  Even as a test 
lab, we have to use the government lab down the street.  If your shipment does 
not have the correct certificate with it, the products will usually get trapped 
in customs.  I will check into the regulations, but the government has not been 
very forthcoming with anything official.

Re: [PSES] China Lithium battery regulations

2013-09-11 Thread McInturff, Gary
Jody,
Is it the case that you can, in the US, do the requisite crush tests etc, of 
UN38 completely within you own facility and self verify the ATA requirements, 
and do other regulators also accept in house data - rather than independent 
verification? The typical (and there are only a small number) of test 
verification I've seen from Li-on manufacturers have been through independent 
labs. While I've read through the ATA documents I don't know that I've ever 
seen a requirement for an independent lab or even just the opposite - internal 
data.
Just curious

Re: [PSES] China Lithium battery regulations

2013-09-11 Thread Crane, Lauren
Yes, Richard, this is a fun one! It is related to a so-called 
“safe-for-transport certificate” (very rough English translation). If an item 
looks like it could be a DG you need to get a cert saying that it is not. Li 
batteries are particularly difficult.

Only certain recognized labs/companies can  provide certs for the DG types in 
their scope. The UN38.3 doc must be a full test report or a passing 
certificate. It, I believe, does *not* have to be form a particularly 
recognized lab. E.g., if you can’t get it from the bat supplier, you could have 
the test done yourself in TX and then provide the test report to the Chinese 
lab for the safe-for-transport certificate.

Finding written chapter and verse on this is difficult.

Regards,
Lauren

2013-07-15 Thread Paul Wang
Hi Helmut,
The list has been updated for 9 times and will still be updated timely.
There are totally 29 products require China Energy Label now. 
I have the list but it's in Chinese.
So maybe you can let me know your product and I can check whether it
requires CEL.

[PSES] Lithium Button Cell Transporation in China

2012-11-09 Thread Crane, Lauren
Does anyone know what requirements apply to the transportation by air in China 
of lithium button cells installed in equipment ?

 

I have one Chinese regulation à “Administrative Provisions on Transport of 
Dangerous Goods by the Civil Aviation of China” (“中国民用航空危险品运输管理规定”), which 
defines dangerous goods as 

 

“articles or substances which possess danger to the health, safety, property or 
environment, specified in the listing of dangerous goods of the Technical 
Instructions, and classified pursuant to the Technical Instructions. Technical 
Instructions refers to the current Technical Instructions for the Safe 
Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc9284-AN/905) promulgated by the 
International Civil Aviation Organization, including the supplements and any 
appendix thereto approved and published by decision of the Council of the 
International Civil Aviation Organization.”

 

According to the 2011 version of ICAO Doc 9284-AN/905 button cell batteries in 
equipment (including on circuit boards) are excluded from the general lithium 
battery transportation requirements in the document. Particularly Packing 
Instruction 967 and 970.

Which seems to imply they are out of scope also of the Chinese regulation. 

 

However, there is also the Chinese standard  MH/T 1020-2009, “Standard for 
transport of 1ithium batteries by air” (组电池航空运输规范) which does not acknowledge 
any button cell exclusions. 

 

Any ideas?

 

If in scope, the requirement would be for the button cell to be certified to 
UN38.3. Is it even possible to buy a button cell these days that does not meet 
this standard?

[PSES] Made in PRC or Made in China?

Import of a product in Saudi-Arabia is not possible because on the product 
label is printed made in PRC and while the certification body claims it must 
be made in China.

Is there any reason why PRC (People's Republic of China) is not acceptable?

Not sure whether you will sell it to China or Saudi-Arabia.
If it's for China, I believe it should be printed in Simplified Chinese:中国制造

Re: [PSES] Made in PRC or Made in China?

2012-06-13 Thread Brian Oconnell
According to several SGS and UL publications, which I cannot send because of
copyright, Saudi Arabia does not allow abbreviations for country of origin
on product label. Reference was Saudi Law of Commercial Data, No. M/5-14
Rabi' II 1423H.

We make some of our stuff in TJ, and their import people said to me 'what
country does Mexico stand for?' And for some reason, they do not seem to
consider 'USA' an abbreviation. LULZ. The joys of global economy.

Import of a product in Saudi-Arabia is not possible because on the product
label is printed made in PRC and while the certification body claims it
must be made in China.

Is there any reason why PRC (People's Republic of China) is not acceptable?

[PSES] SRD in China

2012-04-20 Thread Michael Loerzer
Hi,

 

I have a question regarding Chinese short range device requirements.

 

Specification: 
metering equipment (heat, water) with SRD's 

868MHz Band in Europe
center frequency 868,95 (frequency band 868,7 - 869,2MHz) 
10mW 
bandwith approx.  250kHz 

or 434MHz Band in Europe
center frequency 434,475MHz 
10mW
bandwith approx.  250kHz 

Low Duty Cycle 

 

Is such equipment allowed to operate in China? If not which frequency bands
are allowed? 

 

Any support is appreciated.

 

 

Best regards

2012-04-20 Thread Paul Wang
Hi Michael,

As I know the 800MHz SRD device in China is from 868MHz to 868.6MHz  and should 
be 5mW.

So you may need to change it.

Re: [PSES] CE mark for China?

2012-04-03 Thread Ed Price
To enforce their trademark, wouldn't the CE mark have to be displaying a
little TM or an R in a circle next to the CE? Perhaps European trademark
marking law is different than in the USA, but here, to maintain your
trademark, you would have to mark the mark.

[PSES] FW: CE mark for China?

2012-04-02 Thread McInturff, Gary
I understand why we can't send jpg's and bitmaps but that is going to make this 
a bit more complicated - but I'll give it a try. If you would follow the link.

A colleague, whom I appreciate a great deal has an unfortunate habit of taking 
Wikipedia as valid reference data. I'm trying to break him of this habit, but 
in the meantime he sent me this interesting little tidbit that claims there are 
Chinese manufactures who think CE is China Export or China Electronics and 
apply a very famous mark


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_mark


Then select China Export in the table of contents or scroll down to that point. 
You'll see a couple of CE marks.

There is also some adjoining text that describes the CE mark and its legal use 
etc. 

Taken collectively I'm believe it's pretty clear that its they can't do that 
and send it to the EU. I mostly trying to figure out if anybody has ever seen 
such a thing, particularly our listsever friends that are much more familiar 
with Chinese marks than I.

 A colleague, whom I appreciate a great deal has an unfortunate 
habit of taking Wikipedia as valid reference data
Why not change the entry yourself and suggest he re-reads it? :)


This came up a few years ago and a question was even asked in the EU parliament:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=WQreference=P-2007-5938language=EN

The answer includes: 
The Commission is aware that there exists the misconception attributing CE 
marking the meaning 'Chinese export'. The Commission is not aware of the 
existence of a 'China export mark' but considers that the mark the Honourable 
Member refers to constitute the CE marking as foreseen in the European 
legislation without, however, respecting the dimensions and proportions 
prescribed therein.

The CE mark is, I believe, now trademarked.

Re: Industrial product stopped by China Customs

2011-05-06 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
Carl,
 
Dealing with China Customs can be painful.
 
I don't have the exactly same experience.  I shipped CCC test samples to China
with $2 invoice (test samples no commercial value).  The Customs rejected it. 
I had my colleague corrrected to our selling price with a letter to describe
the reason.  The Customs still felt the invoice was too low...
 
I wonder if your customer is able to change the category and issue a letter to
explain.  My suggestion is to get a 2nd opinion from the other Customs
clearance agent if available.  Or, if you know someone at the Customs, ask
him/her if there is any way to go around.
 
With regards,
Grace

LF China 2.4 GHz FHSS standard/s

Hi group, 

Previous attempt to identify the Chinese requirement for 2.4 GHz wireless
device, identifies GB-15629.1102, which turns out to be for DSSS (Direct
Sequencing Spread Spectrum). Does anyone knows what will be the correct
standard for FHSS?

Thanks,

Dear Mike,

 

I have checked the standard GB15629, it is a Chinese standard, named
GB15629.11-2003, is similar to the international Wi-Fi (802.11) standard, but
uses a different security protocol. 

 

While the Wi-Fi standard uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 
security
protocol, the Chinese standard uses a Wireless Authentication and Privacy
Infrastructure (WAPI). 

 

About the power limit, it is included in other standards to state for 
China.

For 2.4GHz(2. 4-2. 4835GHz):

About EIRP:

If antenna gain10dBi, EIRP ≤500mW(27dBm)

About radiated power:

≤-40dBm/100kHz(5725~5850MHz)

≤-30dBm/1MHz(1~12.75GHz)

 

For 5.8GHz(only 5725-5850MHz is allowed in China):

If no antenna, the output power will be required ≤500mW(27dBm).

If have antenna, EIPR ≤2W(33dBm)

The only mandatory safety requirements for the product to be placed to the
China Market is CCC certification requirement which is currently applicable
for household appliances only. If the product is designed purely for the use
of industrial environment, the CCC requirement will not be applicable.

One question - does the CCC mark cover radio requirements (similar to EN 300
330) for short range radio products? 
I have thought for some time that it covers both EMC and safety.

One question - does the CCC mark cover radio requirements (similar to 
EN 300
330) for short range radio products? 
I have thought for some time that it covers both EMC and safety.

 Jeff,

 My interpretation:  If you (your employer) do not sell your
 products to Chinese government(or any party subject to
 government rules), you don't need to worry about the rules
 (similar to WLAN products).

 I attach a quick translation for your reference.

An engineer from China Information Security Certification Center gave

compulsory certification for the information security products have
been published.  Please refer to the following.

No. 33, Year 2009

The compulsory implementation of information security products listed
in 2008 CNCA Notice No. 7 has been postponed to May 1, 2010.  It is
implemented under the scope of government purchase (this means, from
my interpretation,  if the buyer is not a Chinese government, the
rules are not mandatory).

Re: Electrical Safety regulations regarding PLUGS for DIRECT PLUG-IN TRANSGFORMERS in CHINA

2008-05-06 Thread Grace Lin
Constantin,
 
The implementation rule, governing CCC approval process, for the standards Ted
pointed out is CNCA-01C-003.  An English version of this implementation rule
is available from the CNCA web site at www.cnca.gov.cn.  Click ENGLISH (upper
right corner) to go to English web page.  The CQC (merged with CEMC) is the
only CCC certification center for the scope of this rule.  There are about 20
test labs which are the best resources to ask questions if you have any
connection to the people speaks Chinese.
 
A quick Google search for the picture turned out at
http://www.interpower.com/ic/sbc-x.asp.  Two of my Chinese colleagues confirms
this is the type they use in China.  In addition to this type (two poles with
ground),  two poles (two parallel plates, equal length) and two poles dual
use (two round pins, I believe) are the types listed in the GB 1002-1996. 
This standard in Chinese is available from webstore.ansi.org.  The cost is
less than a dinner bill.  The standard provides diagrams and dimensions.  It
should not be difficult to figure out dimensions (in numbers).
 
For a product under 36V, CCC may not apply.  From my understanding, 36V
applies to input and output, not only output.  If a product interested is a
power adaptor, other implementaion rule(s) and standards may apply.  For a
power adaptor for IT equipment, implementation rule CNCA-01C-020 applies. 
Test standards are GB4943, GB9254, and GB17625.1.  For a power adaptor for
audio/video equipment, implementation rule CNCA-01C-017 applies.  Test
standards are GB8898, GB13837, and GB17625.1.
 
I hope this helps.
 
Regards,
Grace

 I do not know if copies of the standards are readily available in English. 
Plugs, sockets and direct plug-in transformers must have CCC approval governed
by the rules of CQC.  However, other test agencies (such as UL and TÜV) are
authorized to test to CQC rules, and these agencies may be able to help you
with information regarding the exact details of the plug configuration.

If I understand the original question correctly, this is what it really comes
down to. The power supply may be Listed by itself, but that does not mean that
the end product using it is then somehow covered by the power supply Listing,
even if no additional hazards are present in the end product outside the power
supply. If there is a requirement for the end product to be Listed, then it
must be evaluated separately. Allowing the power supply Listing mark to be
visible in the end product in such a way that the customer is led to believe
that this mark covers the end product is a no-no.

Wow! The chart shows 2A at 45V for Class II, or 100VA as you note. This is a
lot of energy to me, and can certainly result in ignition given the correct
conditions. I note that the standard also shows voltages above SELV as
permissible. 

 

The implication in the original question was information technology (as far as
I could tell). Even with approved supplies and only SELV levels safety
investigations are still required. 

 

Some examples:

Flammable material (the laptop plastic case).

Fault (5V to ground) causes part to fall off board through vent hole, igniting
material on table.

 

There are lots of ways to design unsafe products using only SELV (not even
considering Class II). If your product needs a safety approval then an
investigation is required.

 

To phrase this another way: someone else's label (the power supply
manufacturer) is not a valid indicator that a product has a safety approval.

 I do not know if copies of the standards are readily available in English. 
Plugs, sockets and direct plug-in transformers must have CCC approval governed
by the rules of CQC.  However, other test agencies (such as UL and TÜV) are
authorized to test to CQC rules, and these agencies may be able to help you
with information regarding the exact details of the plug configuration.

Dear Colleagues,
 
I tried to find out on several channels information regarding the TYPE 
of
ACCEPTABLE PLUGS to be used within DIRECT PLUG-IN TRANSFORMERS placed on the
CHINESE MARKET. I was not able to find at least an answer.
 
I searched on Internet and the results that I found are not relevant;
 
I have the following questions:
 

The RATINGS of that DIRECT PLUG-IN transformer are:
PRIMARY 220-230V ac, SECONDARY 16Vac /20VA
The QUESTIONS are:
1. Which is the MOST COMMON PLUG CONFIGURATION IN CHINA ? (ROUND pins, 
OR
FLAT, or Aus-asia configuration )?
DETAILS regarding this aspect (geometry, size, insulation, etc. will be 
very
much appreciated, INCLUDING the NAME of the APPLICABLE REGULATORY DOCUMENT
(Standard) that covers the DIRECT PLUG-IN TRANSFORMERS in China).
2. IF there an English version of that Standard, please be so kind and 
advise
me from where we are able to buy it.
3. Are there in China any Standards for the INPUT PLUGS ? (e.g.: in 
Australia
they have a specific Standard that covers Approval and test
specification-Plugs and socket-outlets, AS/NZS 3112:2004)
4. Any available specification it will be very much appreciated if you 
can
share with me, pictures, links, etc.
5. IS IT MANDATORY for a such DIRECT PLUG-IN TRANSFORMER to have the CCC
APPROVAL or not ?
In my engineering judgement the answer is YES, but I received some 
feedback
that due to the OUTPUT (?!?) voltage (less than 35 Volts) it is not necessary
to be CCC Approved...??!?
Your feedback and advises are very much appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
Constantin

To phrase this another way: someone else's label (the power supply
manufacturer) is not a valid indicator that a product has a safety approval. 
 
If I understand the original question correctly, this is what it really 
comes
down to. The power supply may be Listed by itself, but that does not mean that
the end product using it is then somehow covered by the power supply Listing,
even if no additional hazards are present in the end product outside the power
supply. If there is a requirement for the end product to be Listed, then it
must be evaluated separately. Allowing the power supply Listing mark to be
visible in the end product in such a way that the customer is led to believe
that this mark covers the end product is a no-no.

Re: China CCC and CE?

2008-03-20 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
Curt,
 
The main difference is that a major component in your system such as a power
supply or monitor must also be CCC Certified or must have  the component
evaluated separately by the China test house. This can be done by by
submitting an IEC  CB Test Report with China deviations on the component or
tested in-country.
 
You are correct in that for many product categories, the Chinese GB standards
are equivalent to their IEC equivalent standards.
 
Unlike CE which is a self declaration by the manufacturer, getting a CCC
certificate also involves an initial inspection at the factory and yearly
follow-up inspections. 
 
 
Best Regards,
 
Peter

In some cases. But to give you a *helpful* answer, we would need to know 
which product(s) and which 'CE standards'.

China Update

2008-03-09 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
Dear Members,
 
The following update is based on the discussion with a CNCA representative
from its certification department during the VCCI International Forum 2008
held March 7, 2008 in Tokyo, Japan.
 
In-Country Testing
In-country testing is no longer a requirement as long as a country-to-country
MRA is signed.  The first country to take this advantage is New Zealand.
 
WLAN
CCC certification is not mandatory for WLAN except for those products sold to
Chinese government.
 
China RoHS Catalogue
Fomulation of this catalogue has not been started.  The possible items to be
included in the first release is more likely to be components.
 
I hope this helps.
 
Best regards,
Grace
