Re: [PEDA] Logo's for FCC, UL and CE ?
This issue with CE marking has caused many of us lots of headaches. Wading through the standards documents, it becomes clear that they are the work committees where all the members want to have their say, whether or not it is of value or not. How about changing the location of the tattoo to one's cheek. Then one can make a statement at each inspection ... Sorry!

Alas, Partminer is no more, it was actually useful, so it had to go. It was acquired and promptly replaced by freetradezone, which sucks mightily, as do most monolithic, graphics-intensive, form-over-function, marketing-suit driven web ideas. BTW, I was being sarcastic about all the requests for a CE logo. It took me about 15 seconds to search for, locate, download and view the logo artwork from that link.

Although this is a bit off topic, I am not sure if obtaining CE status is mandatory or a level of comfort sticker for a consumer market ?

Different Brian... Carl, Worst case scenario, you could use my picture-Gerber converter. For something like a CE logo, I don't really recommend it, my converter was really designed to bring in a complete graphic with shades for those who just must have it.

Re: [PEDA] Logo's for FCC, UL and CE ?
..and the fun bit is that it's down to the manufacturer or importer to determine which EEC directives need to be complied with! In the case of the PSU, the CE mark would be justified in compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (electrical safety) but for EMC it would depend on whether the PSU has an 'intrinsic function' or is a component. (and this is one of the simpler issues...). In fact the CE mark signifies compliance with all applicable EEC directives, so in theory fixing a CE mark to an item could simply signify compliance with the CE-marking directive (yes, it does exist!). Another cause of confusion is that the CE mark doesn't strictly speaking have to be on the product - the regulations allow it to be on the packaging and/or user documentation. This is presumably to cover cases where a product is physically too small for a CE-mark that meets the CE marking directive. (Thinks: if a CE mark is smaller than allowed by the directive, does it actually contravene the directive as the CE mark in effect signifies it's own compliance so if it doesn't comply then it doesn't signify that it does, which is OK because it doesn't ... [FX: brain going 'pop']) FYI, there's a new EMC directive being worked on (EMCD:2000), currently scheduled to come into force Q4/2005.

Size depends on size of the label. Only the form is to be genuine. I place a small CE mark (in copper on top or bottom layer) on all PCBs I do. It does not comply 100% to the official mark, but to 95%, and at a size of 3mm to 10mm, depending on available board space, nobody will notice if not viewed under a microscope. If anyone is interested, drop me a line. So I am sorry, Jon, but you should inform yourself better before issuing statements, that may read funny, but unfortunately do not contain real information.

Re: [PEDA] Logo's for FCC, UL and CE ?
the requirements of CE are very simple: you must comply with all applicable regulations and requirements (loosely paraphrased) unfortunately I am not kidding here Dennis Saputelli -- ___ www.integratedcontrolsinc.comIntegrated Controls, Inc. tel: 415-647-04802851 21st Street fax: 415-647-3003San Francisco, CA 94110 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * - or email - * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=leave%20proteledaforum * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Carl, Download the Klipper Free 30 day trial . http://www.desktop-eda.com.au/products/pcb.htm This has all those logos in its logo library.

Re: [PEDA] Logo's for FCC, UL and CE ?
Relax Jon, the CE requirements do not cover use of normal components in an assembly. It covers the product/assembly but the individual components are not covered separately as far as it effects you or I. The best example of this is computer power supplies, it is illegal to put the CE mark on a computer power supply, because on it's own it does nothing and has no usable function (other then as a paper weight). There were a lot of computer power supply people driving the CE people nuts when CE became mandatory for all general electronics products. The individual components (passives, semis, etc.)undoubtedly come under some CE requirements (for at least materials/flammability) somewhere or in the future but I think the marking will not be an issue with them. Thank god it has been years since I had to deal with all that CE bs. Even talking directly to a CE engineer/rep in Europe would never get you a straight answer to a straight question.

Right, the CE requirement is that all electrical components must bear the CE mark at the full accepted size (I think it is around 5 cm?). This includes EVERY component, including 0402 resistors! There are no exceptions permitted, and any unit bearing even one such unlabeled or improperly labeled component can be seized and destroyed by customs agents. Supposedly, there are even criminal penalties in Germany, maybe other places, too, for such violations! Very practical regulations!

Re: [PEDA] Logo's for FCC, UL and CE ?
Carl, a word of warning. Read the CE requirements for labeling requirements quite carefully, I don't remember the exact details but your desired size appears to be well below their minimum size requirements if this is the only CE mark to be applied to your product. The pertinent details used to be found in the same section as the grid CE logo graphic. FCC has similar requirements but they 'were' not stated in their actual regulations, however we had one product rejected years ago because the size of the FCC ID were smaller then acceptable according to the engineer handling our submission. Seemed to have been arbitrary according to what we could determine at the time. I haven't had to deal with this for a fair period of time at the PCB level so possibly there have been some changes in recent years.

[PEDA] Logo's for FCC, UL and CE ?
Hello, I have dense board to apply logos for FCC, UL and CE onto the silk screen. Ideal height would be ~.100 height, but anything would be great. Does anyone have these logos in a format Protel99SE can import? I would be grateful if you could share them with me. Sincerely, Carl Schattke, C.I.D.
