LED Reqs under A11 to EN60950

1998-11-20 Thread Frank West
Hello group! I would like to hear how some of you are handling the requirement to treat LED's as a laser device, as required by amendment 11 of EN 60950. The information I have received is that all LED's that are sources of non-coherent light will be classed as class 1 lasers. The equipment

I would also be interested to know what everyone is doing (or not doing !!). As far as I can gather, everyone is ignoring this issue, as it is just so ridiculous. After all, the only way you can prove that a LED is Class 1 or below is to do the measurements - and I'm sure most of us don't have

Wiring Requirements

Can anybody tell me which (European)specification explicitly defines the colour of insulation for wiring (internal and external). Presumeably its going to be EN60XXX (can somebody fill in the X's for me!!) Obviously green/yellow for earth, but what is defined for phase/neutral. I have seen

Hi, At a former employer (EU Notified Body based in Germany), we were told to ignore normal LED's, unless when looking into them they looked Dazzling. The rational was that the requirement was going to be changed to exempt them and there was no sense in enforcing it. Ned Devine Entela, Inc.

This issue came in my attention in January 1998. ..I contacted some manufacturers of LED (because I thought that they have the responsibility to provide the classification), and unfortunately no answers... Within the catalogues no information regarding the Class of the ordinary (!!??) LED. I

Good question. I have been hearing about this lately and have relied upon the vendors to give me a heads up. Not all LEDs are involved and I am trying to sort this out. Shouldn't that read coherent rather than non-coherent. As was discussed not to long ago the issue of laser light and focusing of

Radiated E/H Field Emissions Extrapolation

Group, I am looking for a formula/rule of thumb, etc. for extrapolating the results of radiated emissions testing on a partially filled cabinet-based product (e.g. two out of four identical shelves populated) to determine (roughly) what the entire populated cabinet may produce. I have heard and
