Dear Tony, All Devices connecting to the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) needs to be tested to FCC Part 68 before it can be sold in the US. This would be similar to the testing that I expect you would have tested to, for the crossed hockey stick mark for Europe. The US requirements that

Greetings, What CE directives and hence what test standards apply to a small ultrasonic cleaner (sometimes referred to as a jewelry cleaner) when it is included as an accessory to an ITE product? The ultrasonic cleaner is an off the shelf product from another

In my opinion, the cleaner is not an accessory to the ITE since it has no connections to it whatsoever. Therefore, the cleaner must stand as a product in its own right. I would consider it to be business equipment, so it must comply with EN 60950 for safety and EN 50081-1 for emissions and EN

Hello TO, From your inquiry, it seems as if you have covered almost everything to sell your product in the USA - except the network protection requirements. All devices connecting to the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) will need to meet this requirement. The requirement can be met by

Tony, First, I'm confused. If you know that your product complies with FCC Part 15 and UL19050, why are you asking EMC and safety certification guidance in the US? Or, are you just making the statement? Anyway, compliance with IEC950 does not equate to compliance with UL1950. There

What frequency is the ultrasonic section working at ? This may well classify as ISM equipment if it is intentionally using rf (above 9kHz) to perform its intended function (clean jewelry) and so EN 55011 would apply. Choice of Class A or B, as appropriate. Class A if not used in a

Dear Rebeca Chan, Based on the information that you provided, a device such as your electrode device could be classified as a Class I device. A submittal to FDA under a 510k plan may or may not be necessary. It is hard to say with the limited information provided. The key question here is how

Hi Joe: An excellent question ! Let me ask one or two of my own here. 1. Are we sure that both Sweden and Norway are currently EU members ? Not just IEC members ? Regardless of that answer the question really remains valid for the other items in annex ZB 2. Would it be reasonable that these
