RE: EN 60950 productionline test
Hi Folks I have read, and generally concurr with, Scott Douglas' and Richard Woods comments re EN50116. However, I would also comment further on RW's suggestion that EN50116 tests may only be required if you have an external agency certification on your product: - If you do have this certification then you have the backing of that agency if case of trouble/dispute etc. - However, if you don't have external certification then the onnus is far more on your company to do do everything to get it right, and thus the legal pressure to apply such tests could be considered to be far higher! Additionally, as a point of interest, I would draw your attention to EN60065-1998, Annex N Routine Tests, which contains a much wider set of tests and criteria to consider including in such a routine procedure - including a number of visual checks which I consider to be very sensible and very much along my own lines of thought (based on quite a few years in this business!). (The above opinions and comments are my own and should not be interpreted as necessarily being those of my company.)

RE: EN 60950 productionline test
Dear colleagues, I think that it is useful for all of us to read the SCOPE of the Standard EN50116: This European Standard defines the routine electrical safety tests and their procedures to be applied during or after the manufacturing process of equipment certified or declared as complying with EN60950. I think that is not too much place for interpretationDECLARED AS COMPLYING WITH EN60950all comments will be appreciated regarding this matter.

Re: EN 60950 productionline test
Kim, The standard is: EN 50116 : 1996, Information technology equipment - Routine electrical safety testing in production. This can also be obtained as: BS EN 50116 : 1996 from BSI or other sources. The actual standard is only 1.5 pages long.
