Dilemma, Repaired Units, To CE mark or not ?

1997-02-06 Thread gasse
Jim, assuming that the essential safety requirements and fuctionality of your product have not changed, there is no 'placing in the market' after the repair. Therefore there is no requirement to CE mark according to LVD, if the product has brought in to an EU country before 1/1997. An already

This is a tricky question. I can see that there are three cases that can be considered. Case 1: Unit is repaired and returned to the original customer. I find nothing written that says you cannot do this. The unit is being placed back in service, it is not being placed in service the first time.

Directives and standards for packaging,

Can anyone tell me what Directives there are (other than the LVD and EMCD) that impact what we can and cannot do in our packaging and manuals? We are thinking of rules controlling things like recyclability, minimum recycled content, banned materials, over-packaging, etc. How does this relate

I have seen Directive 94/62/EC of 20, December, 1994: On Packaging and Packaging Waste. Directive 94/62/EC also references 75/442/EEC of 15, July, 1975: On Waste. Perhaps these may be helpful. Regards, Doug Henderson 3Com, S2 Division (508) 490-5954 doug_hender...@3mail.3com.com -

Hello, I may have inquired of this forum on this subject before, I can't remember. I am interested in what your experience has been with overheating of removable cord sets at the equipment input end. This would include the cord and the appliance connector. I don't know how many folks out there

Keep in mind that the Phone Company has long been exempt from many regulations. This includes FCC Part 15 as well as the OSHA. The Phone Companies themselves require that all equipment to be used in the CO or customer Premise be listed with a NRTL. On the EMC side they require a wider

While I haven't investigated this type of failure, I can speculate on some causes to consider. The overheating must be caused by an increase in resistance in the vicinity of the connector. Possible causes: * bent contacts allowing a loose pin and socket fit (bad construction or damaged in

John, I just realized that Amendment 1 to IEC1010 added a new section (14.7) to cover mains transformers not tested as part of the equipment. It also changes the wording in section 4.4.2.6 for transformers that are tested as part of the equipment. The overload tests in 14.7 and 4.4.2.6 are more

On the contrary, this has been a long-standing issue before the CSA Steering Committee on the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, although the question here was dealing with cords for things like electric kettles (we use them in Canada a lot more than in the US) rather than IT equipment. The
