RE: Products for evaluation

2001-11-09 Thread Gregg Kervill

Sorry for the abrupt response but time is short and there are I believe
there are serious issues here.

If you would like to take some of these points off line please email me.



A Class III LASER is dangerous!

For UL/CSA you will need a FDA report. I have just completed just such a
project.


For CE Marking you might use that report (some may disagree because if it
not of the EU).

If you even need a CB Report you will need a IEC 825 (Number??) LASER REPORT


An OPEN ???  are there interlocks? - processes? - operating instruction?


The unit is definitely NOT a COMPONENT Nor can it ever be considered as
such.


Even if it was a component you WOULD NOT be able to sent it round the world.
There are many differing requirements - I'll leave it to people better
qualified (like John Woodgate) to give you the details (please John).

If the product only was a component I would just send it around the
world but it can function as a product by just adding a PC to a RS 232
port.

How should I tread this product when sending it to US/Canada ?

Can I just add a label on the product with a text like this:

For evaluation purpose only  ?

And what about EU, the manufacturer is located in EU ?

Products for evaluation

2001-11-09 Thread Kim Boll Jensen

Hi all

A customer of mine have a product which have a controller unit with
mains power and an open Class 3B laser unit. The product will normally
be regarded as a component for build-in but it can also be used by
students for laser experiments etc. as it is.

The product is not in production yet but is ready for shipment in a
small quantity (around 25 units).

If the product only was a component I would just send it around the
world but it can function as a product by just adding a PC to a RS 232
port.

How should I tread this product when sending it to US/Canada ?

Can I just add a label on the product with a text like this:

For evaluation purpose only  ?

And what about EU, the manufacturer is located in EU ?
