Greetings
I am trying to determine whether our laboratory equipment is required to
comply with the RoHS and WEEE Directives at this time.
We do have some instruments for use as IVD and realize that they do fall
under the scope of the WEEE Directive as Category 8 Medical Devices:

Question on which safety standard to use: The item is a piece of test
equipment that was designed in-house for use in-house. It will be shipped to
Europe. Is the correct safety standard EN 61010-1? Thanks.

Your rationale for not resubmitting is valid *if* the GBICs
are Certified as Class I (I haven't seen one yet that
isn't).
Your rationale for resubmitting is missing some what ifs.
Specifically, if you remove (or cover with a label) any of
the required markings or use the device outside
Nope, you are absolutely correct on the GBIC's or the new smaller pluggable
LC connector optics. You are just a distributor of those under the laser
guidelines. Again, its a fully contained module that you make no changes to,
and they have no controls or failure modes that you could induce to
The answer to my questions can be found in Clause 5.2.2.4 of TR 60825-9. A
rectangular aperture is required for oblong sources and the method of
measurement is presented in that clause - it isn't easy. Sigh.

My recommendation is to look at the radio performance issues as well as the
regulatory. It is possible that you have no FCC compliance issues but the
radio does not perform! The FCC could not care less if your radio works or not.

I want to leech off of this question; I hope that I don't get it off track.
We currently produce a module that use GBICs. For the unfamiliar, a GBIC is
an optical transceiver for gigabit ethernet. Our quality personnel handle
CDRH submissions; and our current thinking is that we don't need to
Hi Chuck,
The device in question would fall under 15.247, which has no extreme
temperature requirement in the U.S. If the WLAN device was tested for use in
the EU the European Norm (EN 300 328) does involve extreme temperature testing
of -20 to +55 C, unless it is for indoor use or controlled
The first thing to do is to check the component temperature ratings to
see if you will even meet the parts manufacturers operating limits. Many
commercial components are rated at 70C, meaning that the parts vendors only
guarantee the operation up to that point, after that you are on you
Hello, everyone.
We are integrating a purchased 802.11b device into our product, but face
ambient temperature requirements up to 80 degrees C. This brings up two
problems:
1. Will it work at that temperature? One vendor advertises 55 degrees max,
another 70 but with an offer to screen products
Hi Bob,
this is something that my lab does. We use network analyzers for NSA, and

While we are not A2LA accredited yet, we hope to be soon.

You DO need to register. Testing may not be required, but is
strongly encouraged regardless (technically you can refer to the laser
component manufacturer's results).
Note: This is assuming that you aren't just putting an off the shelf

I am attempting to measure, in accordance with IEC 60825-1+A1 +A2, the size
of the apparent source of a LED plastic fiber optic driver when the fiber is
removed. The driver assembly consists of a visible red LED, clear magnifying
lens and a barrel into which the 2.2 mm dia plastic fiber cable is
I didn't receive any comments at all, so I am trying again. Any comments
would be welcomed.

If the drive is already certified as a Class 1 laser product
and you do not modify it or remove any of the required
markings, you don't need to do anything, irrespective of the
internal laser source's laser class.Refer to Laser

Dear colleagues
Please, correct me if I am wrong ...
After January, 2004, the current amendment A14 to EN61000-3-2 will be
imcorporated to the Standard.
So, who were Class A will continue to be Class A.
Is there any activitie that foresses a new classification of products ?
Nowadays, our
No registration is required if:
1) You put a Class I laser product into your product (in its entirety) and
your product is Class I.
2) You include the documentation that came with the laser product with your
product.
3) You leave all the labeling on the laser product as you received.

I'm not going to disagree with Neil's approach (indeed I endorse it),
but I would observe that the Construction Products Directive (CPD) is
different to the other New Approach Directives in this (and many
other!) respects, in that CE marking is not possible for products
within the scope of
As far as I know, yes, you have to register the actual product with the FDA.
That's what I have always done anyway. The fact that the driver is FDA
registered will make it a fairly simple paperwork exercise.
If you think about it, customs will not be able to associate the driver's
FDA accession
I would agree with you. Providing that the CPD has been enacted in the law
of the Member State in which you wish to market your product, and that
appropriate routes to compliance are available, then it should be your
decision to take that route to market in preference to the former national

Hi all good people
Just a simple question.
When using a CD or DVD driver in a product (PC or audio product) and the
driver is FDA registered, do I need to register the final product at FDA
too. I can't find a paragraph in 21 CFR which tells me when
