It seems that this only applies to OSHA, which I understand to apply to work places only. Is there a regulation requiring UL type approvals for devices that are for home use only? Mat -Original Message- From: Art Michael [mailto:amich...@connix.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 1999

Hi Brian Harlowe, I'm not aware of a EU Legislation that says a company can't service or maintain purchased equipment. Our company is in the same situation as you are: we manufacture laboratory equipment and sell it world wide. We also test our products to EN61010 which is not as strict in these

The traditional answer is that you must test with the worst case peripheral that might reasonably be attached to your product. This is obviously very difficult in some situations. I frequently use one load for emissions testing, and a different load for immunity testing. Regards, Mike

I use the CATC model HBP USB production tester from Computer Access Technology Corp. Check them out at http://www.catc.com/. It's relatively inexpensive. But I'll warn you in advance. I had to filter the DC power port on the device in order to quiet the radiated emissions. Other than that,
