I have seen that there *can* be some significant differences between a DIN
standard and the IEC/DIN version of the same standard.
I wonder if I should be cautious about the potential difference between, say
BSI/EN 60204-1 and DIN/EN 60204-1? My first impulse is to assume no since

My latest 2 cars, both Toyota and 4+ years old, have two-prong 110 AC outlets
that can source about 1 amp before the fuse blows.
Now I want more amperage so I can design spreadsheets on my laptop while
brewing coffee and watching TV on the way to work.!

Thanks for the suggestions on this topic (summarized below). I have browsed
through UL 1059 and the UL versions of the 60947-7-X documents and can find no

Certainly the multi-lingual approach is in line with explicit criteria other

Does anyone know of a certification standard (e.g., UL, EN) that may exist for
terminal block accessories. I am specifically curious about jumper bars used
to bridge the continuity of adjacent terminals.
I've gotten a few hits on Google related to ATEX considerations, but my focus

What I find troubling in this new reg is the last line of the definition for

This seems to create some ambiguity with regard to the question of does this

Predicting the future is not now allowed in Europe, because of the lead
content of the crystal balls is far in excess of RoHS limits.
Thanks for that, John. You've just made my day bearable.

At the bottom of

you will see links to two proposals. Those are the proposed revisions for the
two directives (WEEE and RoHS).
What makes this official or almost official and is there a date with these
changes below?

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

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
Nick,
Yes. These proposed revisions to WEEE and RoHS are very interesting.
Some of what I see;
* RoHS has its own scope now. Essentially the Annex from WEEE has been
pulled into RoHS.
* For WEEE the situation is reversed - It now points to RoHS for scope.

Brian,
Well, I agree with you in that I don't see 9.1.4.1 prohibiting what the
inspector claims it prohibits, but this may be a moot point.
If we are speaking of a true jurisdiction electrical inspector and not a third
party hired to assess the conformance of your design to NFPA 79, then it
It's a little hard to comment w/o a schematic. But note that under NFPA 79
there are two classes of circuits. It seems like your heater circuit may be
considered a power circuit. Therefore, the inspector could be commenting on
the circuit which controls the coil of the 24V solid state relay.
Might be a hoax... check, for example h

One thesis being considered is that English language labels might be

I am struggling with a claim that German Law does not allow type AC RCDs

If anyone has experience in this area I would welcome your insight.

Thanks for the perspective.
Just so I have an example of how it might be done (not that DE law parallels

Glyn,
Just double checked with NFPA codes online and the excerpt is correct. The
difference between 79 and 70 in this respect is ...that can be in operation
... vs. ...that may be in operation
at the same time under normal conditions of use. See NEC 2008 section
670.3.

For industrial machinery, the NEC (NF{PA 70) requires an FLA marking on the
machine nameplate, and that the value shall not be less than the sum of the
full-load currents required for all motors and other equipment that may be in
operation at the same time under normal conditions of use.
Thanks all for the input so far
To address one question from Peter,
Q Yes, if it's a possible use, it must be considered. One way to think of
this is, if there's a setting from 0 to 10 and typically used at 2, why is it
adjustable beyond 2, if it isn't expected to be used at that level?
