   Hello,
 
 Can anyone tell me when directive 96/29/EURATOM of 13 May 96 was
 published
   in the European Journal and would anybody have a copy of the
 directive that
   they would be willing to send me. I would also like to know what the
   standard is ( if one ) that the EU has published as acceptable to
 show
   compliance to that directive. Any help would be appreciated.
 
 
Thank You

RE: Directive 96/29/euratom

2000-11-09 Thread Crabb, John

In the latest edition of EN 60950:2000, Safety of IT Equipment,
Annex H, Ionizing Radiation, you will find the following changed 
text : -
At any point 10cm from the surface of the OPERATOR ACCESS 
AREA, the dose rate shall not exceed 1uSv/h (0.1 mR/h) (see note).
Account is taken of the background level.
NOTE - These values appear in Directive 96/29/Euratom.

The previous limit was 0.5 mR/h at 5cm, taken from ICRP 15.

I had noted that it is surprising 
a) that nobody requested this change until now - shows you how 
(un)important it is, and 
b) that nobody objected to the Euratom Directive when it was
proposed, as the new limit is different from that found in IEC 60950 
and in 21CFR, Subchapter J.

Which brings me on to a long-standing beef of mine :
Given that the X-ray requirements for monitors in UL1950 and 
21CFR are to all intent and purposes the same, can CDRH not
be persuaded to drop all their paperwork that has to be gone
thru to get an Accession number for a monitor, if it is already
UL Listed or Recognized ?

Hello Bob,

I put the term into the Europa Search Tool and the responses indicate that
the date is 13 MAY 1996.  The Europa site yielded a lot of responses that
might be of use to you. Give it a try. (You can find it on the Safety
Link).
