Nick,
Thanks for your response.  We are actually looking forward to performing the
beer test as it seems to be set to mimic a pint being spilled down the
product. 

One thing I found in doing a little digging into similar products is that many
items that we thought were in the scope of 60335-1 (and 60335-2-82 in some
cases) were evaluated to 60950-1.  Some were evaluated to 60335-1, but nowhere
did I see any reference to 60335-2-82.  Granted the search was limited to
on-line and what I could find from Nebraska is going to vary greatly from what
someone may be able to sample from the UK.

Happy holidays,
Doug

Yes, this test needs to be applied to the complete product, including 
the monitor, and the product must pass it. The test is supposed to 
simulate one of the foreseeable misuse conditions which it is 
reasonable to expect that the equipment will be exposed to when in 
use.

This is exactly why the choice of standards for any particular 
product are based on the use to which a piece of equipment is put, 
not just what the equipment consists of.

RE: presumption of conformity of En60335-1

2005-06-14 Thread owner-emc-p...@ieee.org
I'm left uncertain about the whether the following has reached its date
of cessation and therefore lost a presumption of conformity if used as
a test standard for the LVD.

EN60335-1:1994 +A1+A11+A12

We don't have the A2 amendment.

Mark,
We are going to sell this speaker product to European market when bundle with
the 230V version of AC/AC adaptor.

Speaker bundle with AC/AC adaptor of 110/100V vresion will most likely be sold
to US, Japan and other regions that requires this voltage.

My main conern here is that should we accept the AC/AC adaptor compliance with
EN60335-1 or request them to have it comply to EN60742 or EN60065 or EN60950
std.

 Dear EMC-PSTC,

 My company is currently designing a speaker system meant for ITE (that
 is PC) connection.
 The speaker requires external supply which the hardware team is looking
 into using a AC/AC adaptor instead of AC/DC adaptor.
 This AC/AC adaptor which steps down the 230Vac or 110Vac to the required
 low voltage for the speaker supply.

 A supplier of such AC/AC adaptor has said that their product complies to
 EN60335-1 standards.

 As I'm not familar with this standard, and need advice on the following
 doubts.
 1) Is this EN60335-1 equivalent to IEC 742 ?
 2) Heard from a colleague (from his source) that EN 60335-2-207 should
 be the standard ?
 3) Was browing through the LVD Harmonised standard and unable to find
 this 60335-2-207. Could someone advice what is this standard ?
 4) Is this supplier statement of the AC/AC adaptor conforms to EN60335-1
 sufficient? Or should this AC/AC adaptor meant for household 
 electrical appliance required to fulfil EN60335-2-207 standard ?
 5) Does EN60335-1 applicable to AC-AC adapter only ?
 6) Are this standards (EN60335-1 and EN60335-2-207) still valid? Or it
 has been obsolete/replaced?
 7) Could this AC/AC adapter that complied with EN60335-1 be bundled with
 ITE product meant for Home or Office use?

 Looking forward to you advice.
 Thanks in advance.

 Koh
