[PSES] Conflict - cited standard vs. OJ standard

2014-02-04 Thread Amund Westin
Some of the standards in the EN54-series (fire alarm equipment / CPR -
Contruction Product Regulations) have reference to the EMC standard
EN50130-4. Not only the standard is cited, but also the version (EN
50130-4:1995+A1:1998). I've been told that Notified Bodies shall use only
the standards in the edition mentioned by date in hEN even if CEN has
withdrawn and superseded such standards.

Therefore, what happens when EN50130-4:2011 comes into force in June 2014
and EN 50130-4:1995+A1:1998 are withdrawn? Should we follow the Official
Journal (OJ) or the Notified Bodies requirements?

That is correct, for dated references. Withdrawn standards are preserved 
for that reason.

What SHOULD happen is that the EN 54 Parts concerned should be (should 
already have been!) reviewed to see if the reference can be updated or 
not. It might not be possible - the referenced text might not exist in 
the 2011 edition.


If the committee's officers haven't started the process, it's up to both 
the CEN Central Secretariat and the users of the standard to flag up the 
need.

Re: [PSES] Conflict - cited standard vs. OJ standard

2014-02-04 Thread Brian Jones
Amund, everyone

The principle is that the primary harmonised standard (in this case EN 54)
sets the requirements, and the dated reference prevails over the edition
listed in the OJ.  However if EN 50130-4 is applied directly in its own
right to a product, then the OJ dates are used.

The guidance on this is published in CENELEC Guide 25: Guide on the use of
standards for the implementation of the EMC directive to apparatus, which
may be downloaded free of charge from the CENELEC website here
http://www.cenelec.eu/membersandexperts/referencematerial/cenelecguides.html


The relevant text reads as follows:

In some cases, a harmonised standard will make reference by dated reference
to another
harmonised standard, each standard being listed in the OJEU for the EMC
Directive. In such
cases, the specific edition of the referenced EN is to be applied
irrespective of whether that
edition is currently listed in the OJEU. This follows the principle that the
primary standard
provides the requirements for the apparatus, and hence presumption of
conformity in respect
of the EMC Directive as described in Annex ZZ of that standard (see Annex E
of this Guide).
See also C.2 e) below for the specific example where the standards are based
on
international versions.

I would also recommend Guide 24: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Standardization for Product Committees concerned with apparatus, as useful
background information on European EMC standards, which may be downloaded
from the same web page.

I hope this helps

This is very good advice, but I think there is another aspect that 
should be considered.


WHY is it necessary for a committee to review dated cross-references in 
its standards?


If the new edition of the referenced standard contains the same, or 
effectively the same, text as the previous edition, then simple updating 
is desirable, if not strictly necessary according to Brian's statement 
of the rule.


But if the new edition does NOT contain relevant text, then action 
almost certainly needs to be taken. For example, the cross-reference 
could be to a requirement, or even a whole method of measurement, that 
has been abandoned or superseded.

That guidance is not quite applicable here. Only EN 50130-4 is listed in the OJ 
as an EMC standard and so can be the only standard used for presumption of 
conformity. The EN 54 series is a product performance set of standards and the

Re: [PSES] Conflict - cited standard vs. OJ standard

2014-02-04 Thread Brian Jones
Kevin, everyone

OK, this is a problem with giving general guidance on a list such as this!
The guidance that I described works when the two harmonised standards are
harmonised under the same directive or regulation.

I am not familiar with the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011 but the
CEN website shows that the various parts of EN 54 are expected to be
harmonised under that, and were harmonised under the superseded directive
89/106/EEC.  I see also (from a word search) that the text of 305/2011 does
not reference EMC or 2004/108/EC.  

So the edition(s) of EN 50140-3 listed in the OJ under 2004/108/EC apply for
a presumption of conformity under EMCD until the doc of the superseded
standard is passed.  Of course harmonised standards are always voluntary and
for EMCD, Annex II point 2 sets the requirements where Annex II point 1 is
not followed in respect of harmonised standards.

I don't have copies of the parts of EN 54 either.  Perhaps someone familiar
with the CPR can explain the consequences from that side.

Best wishes

Brian

But Guide 25 is quite general; it doesn't say that its provision only 
applies where the standards are harmonized under the same Directive. 
Furthermore, whether the dated reference applies or not depends on the 
detail of what function the reference performs, not on general rules.


So we have a can of worms. At least, it seems that Guide 25 needs to be 
clarified, but the main point surely is that **dated references must be 
individually reviewed (by the committee officers or a delegated 
rapporteur)**, preferably annually, to see if they are still valid.

2014-02-04 Thread sudhakar wasnik
Electrical engineering offers coures in Network theory, electrical circuits 
therory etc  However if you make a schematic with Z1, Z2 Z3 etc in 
series/Parallel combination, It is more like impedence network and not really a 
circuit.  You can transform this network to circuits by changing Z1, Z2, Z3 etc 
to RLC in series/Parallel combination.
 
So in short impedence single element/combination is a network and RLC single 
element/combination is circuit.
 
Any takers

There are millions of such examples, many of them contradictory. It's 
mostly useless to try to construct rigid definitions from popular usage. 
Very often, a word 'sounds right' in a particular context, but not in 
another. Consider, for example, 'electricity supply network'  - you 
wouldn't say 'circuit'. But 'SMPS circuit', not 'network'.

 So in short impedence single element/combination is a
 network and RLC single element/combination is circuit.

 Any takers

It's completely arbitrary whether or not a circuit is considered a
network.  A differentiation could be derived based on passive -v- active
components, number of nodes, or based on function.  Someone will always
have a different opinion.

In the standards world, they are used interchangeably.
