Yes
I returned to work this past Monday only to see that I received over 80
e-mails over the weekend. After I recovered from the shock I started opening
them, only to find about 60 or so were repeats from the last part of last
week. I also have seen a few repeated these past few days. It appears that
not all get repeated, and some get repeated more than once on different
days.

RE: switching NRTLs

2001-03-13 Thread David_Sterner

Assuming original approval is to UL1950 you might try adding an NRTL, then
after a period of time drop the original NRTL.  This way you take advantage
of any agreements between the NRTLs. Typical costs for adding another NRTL
using shared data are 60% of the cost of the original investigation.  You
may need to send a sample or photographs of the sample.

If the original report is not in CB format, or if it is to an early version
of 1950, the costs for review are higher.  As was pointed out in other
remarks, if the original NRTL is aware of the sharing up front they will
format the data so it is acceptable, and perform whatever additional tests
are needed.

Component traceability requirements vary among NRTL's; switching may
introduce sourcing restrictions.

If the product is part of a larger system, mixing and matching NRTL's may
void system-level approval.  At least one NRTL disclaims approval if units
with its logo are connected to equipment approved by another NRTL.

John Doe (autocratic boss of the large company of your choice) sees a

of money on the spot and says, 'You're fired. I'll have no slackers in
MY company.' A few days later, he sees the same man, walking round the
site. 'I thought I fired you. What are you doing still here?' 'You can't
fire me, I'm a government inspector.'

Three candidates A, B and C show up for interview for a senior post with
a multinational company. A says he wants a salary of 200 000 dollars. B
says he wants a salary of 300 000 dollars. C tells the interviewer he
wants 600 000 dollars. 'That's 200 000 for you, 200 000 for me, and we

 Best regards,

 This is actually a true story (with some adjustment).  It happened at a Ford
 plant back in the 1930's (which makes the $50K fee all the more
 significant).  The engineer was brought over from Germany to fix the
 problem, and Henry Ford was appreciative of the service, but outraged with
 the bill.  Thus he demanded an itemization of it thinking he could out one
 over on this engineer and reduce the amount.  And he did, in fact get the
 itemization below.  Henry Ford paid the bill.

  Comprehending Engineers-Take 2
 
There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things
mechanical.  After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he 
  happily
retired. Several years later the company contacted him regarding a 
  seemingly
impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion dollar
machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine 
  to
work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer
who had solved so many of their problems in the past.
The engineer reluctantly took the challenge.  He spent a day studying the
huge machine.  At the end of the day, he marked a small x in chalk on a
particular component of the machine and stated,  This is where your 
  problem
is.
The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company
received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They 
  demanded
an itemised accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly:

CSA C22.2 950 Earthing Test @ 40A for 4 Minutes!

2001-03-13 Thread Peter Merguerian


Dear All,

For a power supply being tested to meet Canadian requirements we were asked
to conduct a 40 A for 4 minutes earthing test because the power supply was
tested for oveload/shorts on a branch circuit of 20 A. Does this value of 40
A and time of 4 mins. make sense? I believe the requirement is derived from
CSA C22.2 No. 0.4 (Grounding and Bonding Equipment) - but I always thought
test is done at 30A for 2 minutes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: switching NRTLs

2001-03-13 Thread Art Michael


Hello Chris,

 Has anyone had any experience of switching NRTLs?  Is it possible to do so
 without incurring huge expense for retesting products ie is there a NRTL
 that would accept test reports/certificates of another?  

Although there exist private agreements among some NRTLs (such as UL and
CSA) for the sharing of files and reports, typically they exist(ed)
outside of the NRTL program. In my experience (as a Manufacturer's Agent),
I have arranged for UL and CSA, under the terms of their long-existant
MOUs, to share data. BUT,this must be arranged at the onset of the test
program, not afterwards. 

I'd be very surprised if any NRTL (or other Agencies) would accept the
Listings (or reports  test data) carte blanche, of another. Two rays of
hope -- the CB Scheme which provides for the official acceptance of test
data, and also the CB-FCS (Full Certification Scheme) which is now
beginning to take hold. 

This is not to say that some NRTL will do exactly as you seek - and, I
guess only they can respond on their own behalf (and practices).

Good Luck. Let us know if you find a ready solution to your query.

Regards, Art Michael

Re: switching NRTLs

2001-03-13 Thread ooverton




Chris,

There may be some hungry NRTLs or some that have existing cooperative
agreements with another NRTL, but would you take complete responsibility and
liability to sell a product under your name that another company designed and
tested by taking their word that everything was OK with the product?

Just a thought.

OO
