Re: Agency approvals on components in CE mar

Jeff, Mr. Eszlari asked, Is it true that European safety agency approval for critical components may not be required for CE? Answer, No, it is NOT required (compulsory) for a manufacturer to use European safety agency approval for critical components. Having a certificate from an accredited

RE: Lab qualification

Yeah, I second that. I try to believe in as little confirmation as possible. Extended stacks of paper don't verify anything. For the EMC stuff I think that you really want to deal with labs that have NIST approval through NVLAP or A2LA. Among other things if you don't need an FCC ID you can ship

CENELEC Decisions on EN 60950

Greetings, For those of you that may be interested in EN 60950 and all other clones of IEC 950, I have scanned and OCR'd the latest List of Decisions, as of July 1998. Since not everyone is interested in this, I will not attach it to this message. If you want a copy, you can get it from my

RE: Grounding of screen room

For a screened room to function as a screened room, no earth is required. It's the metal conduit of the shielding material that will be reference potential (if you insist : ground) for all measurements. All external cables (mains) should be filtered to this reference potential, preferably to the

RE: Room grounding

I absolutely disagree about having a separate ground for the shielded room. Any ac fault inside the room can potentially cause a personnel hazard, as will any lightning strike to the vicinity. A separate ground for the shielded room is acceptable ONLY if it is bonded to building ground. The risk

RE: Lab qualification

ISO/DIS 17025 is DRAFT industry standard which has been produced as the result of extensive experience of the implementation of ISO/IEC Guide 25: 1990 and EN 4500l :1989 both of which it will replace. It contains all of the requirements that testing and calibration laboratories have to meet if

RE: Lab qualification - and a note on reports

Kate, My apologies for the apparent slight. In the US, where I'm located, NVLAP and A2LA were simply familiar to me. I happen to us NVLAP when I qualified a former employers site. Quite possibly their are more certifying bodies in the US than just those two and if they carry NIST credentials I

RE: Grounding of screen room

Hi Ed, Yes, I agree. The way you suggested is an ideal method to get Ambient noise in the Conducted emission test. Please allow me to make two more points about impedance vs. frequency: (1) It is inconvenient in practice to find a resistive load sized to draw the same amount of power. We

EFT/B Generator for EN61000-4-4 Test

Re: Room grounding

Mike, sorry you disagree. Inside the room, all equipment is referenced to the room itself, there is no new safety risk introduced by the room being grounded differently. Outside the room, again, all equipment is referenced tightly to the room, so the operator does not see any differential.

Power Switcher IC

We have a new display panel design that requires a a small switcher for power. The end product must meet Class B emissions. We are planning on using the Linear Technology LT1376 IC which contains the control circuitry and switch. It operates at 500KHz and is rated at 1.25 amps. Has anyone had

Re: CE Approval of equipment utilizing HPMs

Michael Hello, 1. You state a piece of equipment. Is this piece going to be integrated into an end-product? If so, it is wise to ask the Irish end- product manufacturer or installer, what the requirements (EMC, Safety, etc.) for the end-product are and work accordingly. Otherwise, you may be

Good PSTC People. Is Ozone a toxin? Many years ago I had a factory inspector threaten to close down some High Voltage test equipment because there was too much Ozone being produced. Lately we have had bad vibes about a Xerox copier making too much Ozone and threats of ill health etc. to
