Lauren, If the PSU is being supplied as a spare to repair a product not in scope then the spare can be rohs or non-rohs so there would be no need to prove it is RoHS. Chris From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of

Hello All I recently posted a request for information on Universities that offer EMC Educational activities. I thank those that responded but was very surprised by the very small number of Universities involved. I would like therefore to widen the debate. EMC Education and Training Behind EMC

Chris, Is that your read of the current RoHS or the revision proposal? My question is related to the revision proposal. This is what I see Original RoHS said This Directive does not apply to: spare parts for the repair, or to the reuse, of

Chris, Elaboration -- It is frustrating how many laws in general in a country, and the EU specifically (though not a country), affect similar classes of products but do not reference each other. For example, a small aerosol can of specialized oil for a machine might be within scope of the EU

My reply was in respect of the proposed amendments. If the original equipment supplied is not in scope then spares do not have to be in scope, period. If someone deems to take the supply out the printer and use it for another purpose then that is their “folly”. Think what would happen if you

Alan, In the US the best-known university programs in EMC may be The Missouri School of Science Technology (formerly U. of Missouri- Rolla) and Clemson, but there are other schools with programs or classes in one or more aspects of EMC. From my vantage point, these programs offer from among

I agree on the relevance of RF, SI, and EM to EMC since I do all three. I marvel that academia hasn't figured it out. I don't know of any schools that really tie them together. Perhaps it is because of the ways we address them. RF is tends toward frequency domain while SI tends to be time domain.

I see this as having deep roots. Many young people start College without the background to appreciate our discipline.These students have never listened to radio; they've only turned on a box or a compact player/stereo and stuck headphones in their ears. They will learn, if they take up
