Subject: IEEE PSES meeting on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 : Codes, Standards and
Listings - Who requires what, and why
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society Santa Clara Valley Chapter
Meeting Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Dinner: 5:30 – 6:45 p.m. Socialize with your colleagues and tonight’s
speakers at: El Torito Mexican Restaurant, 2950 Lakeside Drive, Santa Clara,
CA 95054 (408-727-4426) -- just two blocks north of the meeting site. No RSVP
required.
Program: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. No admission charge. Open to the public.
Topic: Codes, Standards and Certifications
There are many installation codes and product testing standards that apply to
products. How can you determine what codes and standards effect your product?
What reliable resources are available? Does the installation code influence
the testing standard, or does the standard influence the code? How are codes
and standards developed, and are there any opportunities to provide input?
What products are required to be Listed? Why are the products required to be
Listed? Learn who requires products to be certified by a third-party agency,
what requirements are used, how a product is certified, and where information
about certifications can be found.
Discussion will include both the safety requirements, but also the new
requirements under development for sustainable ("green") buildings and energy
efficiency.
